ChessFest: Manchester Square Garden

Wednesday 12th & Thursday 13th July 9:30am - 3:00pm

9:30am - 3:00pm
Please note that this event is not open to public participation.

300 children from 30 primary schools across the UK that take part in the charity’s Classroom Chess programme have been invited to the capital for a day of chess fun, with a tournament, simul, and chess lesson all on the agenda.

The day will also see the children try on 15th and 16th-century armor from the Wallace Collection, and become real ‘knights’ on the chessboard. 

State schools interested in taking part in the events at Manchester Square Garden should contact us using our online form.
