Dorset Bridge

Welcome to Dorset Bridge, a small and friendly Bridge club located in the charming countryside of North Dorset and Wiltshire. The club utilises the fantastic facilities and warm hospitality of two local venues, The Grosvenor Arms Hotel in Shaftesbury and Compton McRea in Semley.

Dorset Bridge prides itself on offering expert guidance and teaching materials developed by Andrew Robson, a renowned figure in the Bridge community. Our lessons are designed to cater to all levels of players, from beginners to advanced. We believe in making the game of Bridge not only educational but also fun, social, and highly enjoyable. Many of our members quickly become addicted to the game and build extensive social networks within the club.

Our main objective is to ensure that no one feels alone and that everyone finds a sense of belonging within our community.

We offer weekday classes in the mornings during school term time. For specific dates and details, please visit our website and click on the Lessons tab. In addition to regular classes, we also organise various charity events throughout the year. Over the past five years, our club has raised over 45,000 for different charitable organisations, and we are committed to continuing this tradition in the future.
