♠ A little history between hands? ♠️🏰

There’s much more than bridge on the cards on our Unique Bridge holiday in Oxfordshire!

Alongside varied bridge sessions, Masterpoints, prizes and a seminar, enjoy a memorable day with Dr Lucy Worsley. After an exclusive talk and Q&A, Lucy will accompany you to Hampton Court Palace, where she will guide the group through some of the palace's most celebrated rooms, stories and historic treasures.

🌅♠️ Beautiful places, brilliant bridge – and time to enjoy both!

On our Play & Explore holidays, your days are spent really getting to know your destination. That might be a coach excursion with a local expert, a walk led by your bridge host, or a trip by local transport. Then in the evenings, it's time to settle in for some sociable bridge: mostly pairs, with teams when numbers allow, and Masterpoints awarded.

We use smaller boutique hotels wherever possible and keep table numbers lower, so you'll really get to know your fellow players. Interactive seminars, where you play hands on the topic, help keep your game sharp. And on holidays with 10 or more tables, there's never a half table.

With so much to see and do during the day, it's a lovely choice for non-playing partners and companions, too.

It's the perfect balance of play and discovery.

♥️♠️ Love bridge – but hate pressure?

Not every game needs to be about Masterpoints and competition. Sometimes, it’s simply about enjoying the cards, learning something new and having a good time with good company.

Throw in lovely hotels, beautiful surroundings and plenty of time to relax, and the cards are certainly stacked in your favour.

That’s what our Relaxed Bridge holidays are all about. Friendly play at a comfortable pace, with interactive seminars that give you the chance to put what you’ve learned into practice, build your confidence and gradually take your game to the next level.
