Most of the cruises we have been on have bridge as an activity. It is very popular.

I found this on Google but it might be out of date.

We used to play bridge at local clubs - well it was husband, he's played with family since he was a child. Eventually I learned and loved it.
The trouble with Bridge is that it goes on for hours. The last club we belonged to finished at about 1 am! He still plays online every evening.
Never been on a holiday though, but it sounds an excellent idea. Hope you find something good.

Mr Bridge do good bridge holidays too. Some are just Duplicate Bridge and some have teaching as well. I have been on HF walking holidays but not bridge ones. HF is an excellent organisation.

HF Walking & Activity holidays have a good reputation - I've never been on one but a friend has (not bridge) and said it was excellent. This appears to be for beginners

I love bridge but don't play often enough to be any good!

I must need mine too Alima I thought the same.

Sorry I can't help, I've never played bridge.

I thought it might be a re-enactment of "The Bridge".
However, I can't recommend such a thing, but I vaguely remember an organisation called "Acorn" which offered holidays for all sorts of hobbies.

Ah, now I see what you mean. Thought you wanted a holiday visiting bridges around the world. I need my pills......

I can’t give you any suggestions but definitely recommend bridge as a hobby. Hard at first, but persevere and it’s a great social outlet especially as you get older. www.ebu.co.uk/ might be some help - their site may advertise holidays or you could contact them and ask.

Could anyone recommend a beginners Bridge hotel holiday in the UK in 2019. Much thanks for any advice.
