Back for another year, festival-goers of all ages are invited to play on a giant chess set or on tables with friends, family, members of the public or local experts!
The Hull & East Riding Chess Association has run summer-long Play Chess Festivals in 2021, 2022 and 2023. This has involved promoting chess in public-facing events in shopping centres (Princes Quay and Flemingate), parks (Pearson Park, Alderman Kneeshaw, Queens Gardens, East Park, Pickering Park, Victoria Park), squares (Trinity, Queen Victoria), cafés, bars, libraries and quaysides.
