Beginners Bridge Course
Beginners Bridge Course 2025
Come and learn this fascinating game.  We are running another one-year bridge course for absolute beginners / those returning to bridge after a long absence. We aim to teach enough bridge to enable you to feel confident to play with family and friends or at a Bridge Club. There is also potential for a second year ‘Improvers’ course, when you're ready.
‘Gentle Bridge’ sessions where there will be someone on hand to provide advice and guidance will be arranged over the summer and continue at the end of the year.

Our Beginner’s Bridge course follows the English Bridge Union's (EBU) ‘Beginning Bridge’ programme. Enjoy learning to play bridge in a fun, friendly environment where you will meet new people. Previous knowledge of cards is not required but it will help.
