Following on from the success of our last four Charity Bridge Festivals, we'll be running our 2026 Spring Charity Bridge Festival during the week of
Monday 18th May 2026.
Whether you are playing online or Face-to-face Duplicate, there’ll be 'something for everyone' with follow-up commentaries.
With your help, over the past four years we have raised over £8,500 for popular charities such as Macmillan Cancer Support, Alzheimer's Research UK, AgeUK, Parkinson's UK and Cruse UK.
The format for this year's festival will be different to previous years in that u3a's are encouraged to donate to a charity of their choice.
