About Casual Chess Sundays

Listed Under Gaming Events / Family and Kids Events

Looking for a relaxed way to spend your Sunday? Join us for Casual Chess Sundays, where the focus is on friendly games, cozy vibes, and good conversation.

Whether you're brand new to the game or a seasoned player who just wants a break from the pressure—this is your space. No rankings. No timers. Just open boards, warm drinks, and welcoming company.

We’ll have chess sets ready, comfy seating, and a menu of hot drinks and snacks to keep you fueled as you play, chat, or simply watch the pieces move.

Come solo or with a friend—everyone’s welcome. Stay for a game or the whole afternoon.

Because sometimes, the best moves are made over a mug of coffee.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.

All information (whether in text or photographs) is supplied in good faith but should not be relied upon as being a statement of representation or fact.
