Chess in the Park 2025 - Leith Links

Chess in the Park is again be running this year at the Cafe at the Croft, near the former Bowling Greens.

Chess Edinburgh and Lothians are assisting the Community Cafe and the group that previously organised this initiative.

Chess in the Park takes place every Sunday from 1 - 4 pm at the Croft, Leith Links from from 6th July until the end of October.

It is part of the Sunday Market which restarted on the same date (as reported here).

Easy disabled access, off street parking and toilets available.

Limited sets and clocks are available, please bring your own if possible. (It is hoped that for 2025 there will be storage space for equipment and we are supporting that plan.)

A family friendly venue and players of all abilities welcomed. Stay for as little or as long as you like - it is free of charge.

This year there are more marquees to keep the sun off (or even the rain).
