Wiltshire Café Bridge is back! This time in Chippenham

April 15 2026

What is Café Bridge ? You play duplicate bridge in different locations, cafes, inns or restaurants. The day starts with assembly at the Rivo Lounge, to register and collect your movement card, decide your lunch venue (first-come) and have a welcome coffee/tea. You then move to your start café. You play a number of boards in that café, then move on to another. Both NS and EW pairs move, and the cards are stationary. At some point, you break for lunch. This is included in the subscription for the day. You then move on to the next venue, and so on. After play, we all meet up at one of the venues for a drink (included) and results and prizes. For more background information from the EBU website, please click here.

Please arrive by 10am, the event will finish approx. 4.30pm. Venues include The Rivo, The Athena and The Garden, all are in the centre of Chippenham which is level and easy access but the cafes do have some stairs. The nearest car park is Bath Road, SN15 2SA, £9.40 for all day parking. 

If you don’t have a partner, we can match up singletons. We hope to have at least 18 pairs, and there will be a waiting list till we reach 24 pairs.

Any questions, please email Phil Meats: phil@drmeats.net

The cost is £40 per person, which includes a welcome tea/coffee, lunch and final drink at the prize giving. Any surplus will be donated to Wiltshire Air Ambulance.
