Curious about bridge but not sure where to start?
Join our free 6-week beginner bridge course, based on the popular book A Taste of Bridge. This course is designed for absolute beginners and those who’ve always wanted to learn but felt overwhelmed.
We’ll cover the fundamentals of bridge step-by-step: how the game works, basic bidding, card play, and simple strategy—all in a relaxed, supportive environment. Each session builds on the last, with plenty of guided practice and time for questions. No prior experience and no partner required.
