Brighton Backgammon - Beginners Night

Brighton Backgammon is hosting their next Beginners Night at The Fitz Regent on Tuesday, 14 July 2026. This event is part of their regular monthly schedule, which consistently takes place on the second Tuesday of every month. It serves as an open invitation for anyone in the city who has an interest in the game, regardless of their previous experience.

The session is specifically designed for people interested in joining the group, whether you are a complete beginner or someone looking to learn the ropes. Backgammon is one of the oldest board games still played today, and these nights are structured to help new players get comfortable with the mechanics and strategy of the game. You don't need to be an expert to turn up; the sessions are open to players of any skill level, from those who have never touched a board before to those who want to refine their play or simply meet others in the local community.

The group behind these sessions, Brighton Backgammon, describes itself as one of the most successful backgammon communities in the UK. They focus on creating an environment where people can learn and play together, which is why they dedicate these specific nights to newcomers. It’s a straightforward way to get involved with the local scene if you’ve been curious about the game but haven't known where to start. By hosting these sessions regularly, they provide a consistent space for people to practice and engage with the game's history and tactics.

The event runs from 18:00 until 23:00, giving you plenty of time to settle in and play a few games throughout the evening. You can find the group at The Fitz Regent, located at 7-8 Castle Square, Brighton, BN1 1FX. Entry to the night is free, so you can just head down and join in without any upfront cost. It is a practical way to spend a Tuesday evening if you are looking to pick up a new skill or find a group of people who share an interest in this classic board game.
