Are you interested in learning how to play Bridge? If you are, we offer lessons at the best bridge academy in town with a team of dedicated teachers and excellent facilities.

A new term of classes is starting in January 2025.

Check out our new 'Advanced Learner' classes starting in January.

They are suitable for club players and those who have completed the SBU course.

Bridge is fun, sociable and good for your brain. For most people, playing around a card table is the most enjoyable format of the game but it can also be played on-line from the comfort of your home.
