Café Bridge in Sheffield!
On 17th March, for the first time, there will be up to 80 people playing cafe bridge in Sheffield.
Where?
In the heart of the former cutlery industry, Kelham Island has been renovated and has kept many of the striking features of its past. It is home to the famous Kelham Island museum which is free to visit. Here you can sometimes see an impressive live display of a steam engine. Kelham Island is also now home to multiple trendy, quirky and interesting venues that offer excellent food and drink. We have chosen five of the best for your café bridge experience.
What is café bridge?
Cafe Bridge is a duplicate event which takes place in multiple venues throughout the day. Pairs move to a new venue after each round, guided by a personal movement card. The boards remain on their starting tables throughout. The ticket includes lunch at your lunchtime venue. Café bridge is extremely popular in other parts of the country, notably in Scotland and the South. It is popular for the social side of things.……. and the bridge.
First time in Sheffield
In March, for the first time, there will be up to 80 people playing cafe bridge in Sheffield (tickets are limited to this number). We will be promoting this event citywide, as well as to surrounding towns and villages through the YCBA and the EBU.
Bridge outreach & charity
Café bridge is a type of event that attracts all kinds of players including kitchen bridge players and U3A players. It is highly sociable and offers an opportunity to show the outside world the game we love. It is great for attracting new members to our clubs and encouraging others to learn to play. Money raised during café bridge events is often donated to charity. In our case, to the Kelham Island Museum.
The early bird price for the Kelham Island Café Bridge event is £25.
This event is organised by Beauchief Bridge Club with support from Sheffield BC; the EBU; the YCBA, and BriAn Bridge.
