I’m writing to share details of a local event that may be of interest to your students and their families – particularly those looking for a fun, thoughtful day out that supports learning and curiosity beyond the classroom.

On Sunday 29 June 2025, the London MindSports Centre, Dalling Road, Hammersmith W6 0JD will host the Strategy Games Festival, a relaxed, family-friendly day of classic and modern thinking games.

Participants can try their hand at games like Chess, Go, Bridge, Shogi, Hive, Othello, and many more, with friendly guidance in each room and short intro sessions running throughout the day. The event is designed for complete beginners and casual players, aged 10 and above.

These games are not only fun but also encourage valuable skills such as logical reasoning, strategic thinking, focus, and mathematical problem-solving – all in an engaging, screen-free environment.

Food and drink will be available on site throughout the day.
