Kilkenny Bridge Centre Weekly Sessions

The Kilkenny Bridge Centre on Bohernatounish Road runs club bridge most weeknights during its regular season, from September through to May, making it one of the more active card-playing clubs in the city outside the summer months. Monday to Thursday evenings see two club games a night from 7:15pm, with an additional morning game on Tuesdays, and beginner lessons are offered on Thursday nights and Wednesday mornings once the autumn term starts.

What to expect

Bridge at the centre is played to club standard, organised through the Bridgewebs platform used by clubs across Ireland, with results and pairings published online after each session. The regular season runs September to May, with two games most weeknight evenings, a Tuesday morning game for daytime players, and beginner lessons introduced each autumn for newcomers who want to learn the game from scratch. The centre also hosts bigger set-piece events during the season, including an IBU Simultaneous Pairs evening and the Kilkenny Congress, a multi-day competitive event that draws players from other clubs in the region. Outside the September to May season the centre typically has a lighter or paused schedule, so the club’s own website is the best place to check exact session times before travelling.

Getting there

Kilkenny Bridge Centre is on Bohernatounish Road on the edge of Kilkenny city, with parking available at the venue.

While you’re in Kilkenny City

The centre is a short drive from the heart of Kilkenny City, so an evening of bridge can easily be combined with dinner in the city beforehand. There is more to see across Co. Kilkenny.
