Spring Foursomes

One of the great events in the English bridge calendar, the Spring Foursomes will be held over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend at the DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel, Bristol City Centre (2nd - 6th May 2025) and currently (3rd April) only 14 spaces are left.

Please book your stay with our travel partners First for Bridge.

Rooms from £225pp for 2 people sharing or £420 single occupancy. Rates are for 3 nights (Friday to Monday) on a Bed and Breakfast basis.

Please note: If you would like to stay at the venue, please book your accommodation as soon as possible, the cut off date is Friday 4th April. There are only a limited number of hotel rooms still available at the venue. If you would prefer to stay elsewhere there are plenty of hotels near the venue.

The principal event has become one of the toughest events in domestic bridge played for the Provost Cup. It is run on double-elimination lines over nine sessions each of 32 boards. A secondary event, the Punchbowl, will be open to teams eliminated before Saturday evening. It has a round-robin qualifier followed by a mini knockout. The Hamilton Cup is a more relaxed event for teams seeking a game on Monday (bank holiday in England).

This year, in memory of Jeffrey Allerton, there will be some extra prizes aimed at less experienced teams, caddies and free tea and coffee throughout. There will also be four different sets of boards, so you will never be playing the same boards as any adjacent table, to help reduce the likelihood of overhearing things from nearby tables.
