British Chess Championships

The ECF is pleased to announce that this year’s British Chess Championships will be held at Hull City Hall and the DoubleTree by Hilton in Hull City Centre, with events running from Thursday 25th July to Sunday 4th August 2024 across the two city centre venues.

This year’s Championships are being supported by Hull and East Riding Chess Association, Hull City Council, Hull Culture and Leisure, and Visit Hull and East Yorkshire.

The ECF wishes to thank all of the above for their generous support for the 2024 British Championships, and looks forward to running the next in the historic series of British Championships, which started in 1904. We are also hoping to have support from the Chess Trust and John Robinson Youth Chess Trust as in previous years. This will be the 110^th British Chess Championship, and a welcome return to Hull which last hosted a full British in 2018.

We have extended the playing facilities for 2024 to include the City Hall in the historic Queen Victoria Square and also the DoubleTree by Hilton on Ferensway, with about 11 minutes’ walk between the two venues.
