Friday 16th July
10:00am - 4:00pm
Please note that this event is not open to public participation.
300 children from 30 inner-city schools across the UK in the charity’s Classroom Chess programme have been invited to the capital for a day of chess fun, with a tournament and a Mad Hatter’s Chess Party on the agenda. Children will also be visiting the V&A museum to see their exhibition of Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser.
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.
