Our weekly bridge sessions at the Queenstown Contract Bridge Club offer a delightful way to immerse yourself in the strategic world of contract bridge, a popular card game that combines skill, partnership, and excitement. Participants can expect paired gameplay, bidding challenges, and opportunities to learn through guided classes, all in a relaxed setting suitable for all ages. No partner is necessary, as we pair newcomers or visitors from other clubs, ensuring everyone feels included from the start.
Hosted consistently throughout the year, Tuesday evenings begin at 6.50 pm in the Mezzanine Function Room, with play from 7.00 pm to 10.30 pm. Friday afternoons welcome you from 12.30 pm in the Mezzanine Meeting Room, starting at 1.00 pm and ending at 4.00 pm—a total duration of 210 minutes per session. The affordable table charge of NZ $5.00 per person covers the evening or afternoon, and on Fridays, opt to bring your lunch or grab something from the ground-floor cafe. These gatherings highlight the fun of bridge, from mastering new tactics to simply enjoying the game with like-minded individuals.

With spectacular views enhancing every hand dealt, these sessions deliver both challenge and relaxation in Otago's vibrant district. 🃏
