BMB
Bernard Magee Bridge is the bridge tutorial membership site created by Bernard Magee during lockdown.

The site has thrived since those days and offers weekly bridge content including seminars, members-only live shows, hands of the week, four different weekly quizzes and access to the BMB Members' Forum.

Improve your bridge and join thousands of like-minded bridge players for less than a bottle of wine a month.

Country House & Gourmet

Enjoy Gourmet Bridge

At Boutique Country House Hotels

Indulge in fine dining, curated 5-course tasting menus, and premier bridge seminars set in Britain's finest boutique country hotels.

Passford House Exterior

Full Board & Seminars

What are our Gourmet Bridge events?

Our Gourmet events offer an indulgent experience, designed for food lovers and those seeking a more exclusive time away. These events will typically feature a carefully curated 5-course tasting menu on the second evening, allowing guests to indulge in delicious cuisine.

Unlike standard events, our Gourmet events have a slightly altered itinerary to accommodate the special culinary focus. You will also find that the venues and accommodations are of a higher standard, with stays at unique or boutique properties offering a premium level of comfort and service.

Gourmet Dining

5-Course Tasting Menu

How do Gourmet & Country House Bridge events differ from our regular Bridge events?

All our events are full board. Our regular two day ‘Seminar Event’ features two Seminar Sessions, each followed by the opportunity to play the accompanying Set Hands, plus four Duplicate Bridge sessions. The ‘Just Duplicate Event’ features six Duplicate Bridge playing sessions over three days.

Like the ‘Seminar Event’, the ‘Gourmet and Country House Events’ feature two Seminar Sessions with Set Hands. However, they each have three Duplicate Bridge Sessions to make way for a relaxed, unhurried dinner on the second evening—which in the Gourmet Event is a delicious five-course affair.
