Bridge Holidays
This is always a popular page – especially for people looking for bridge holidays for beginners.
A bridge holiday is a great way of enjoying, improving or learning bridge whilst making new friends and seeing new places.
There are a range of holidays for bridge players – holidays aimed at beginners, holidays aimed at experienced players, holidays overseas and bridge cruises.
Here are some that I’ve found on the net to help you make your choice. (I DON’T get commission! Just the fun of looking and compiling the list.)
I’ve divided the page into two sections. First – holidays for beginners. Second – holidays for more experienced players.
