About The Artist

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.
