Chess on Trafalgar Square: Sunday 18 July
All welcome for a fun day of chess!

ChessFest, London’s largest-ever outdoor public chess festival, would like to invite all members of junior chess clubs, their families and friends to join us as our guests from 11am to 6pm in Trafalgar Square on Sunday 18th July, 2021.
ChessFest, organised by UK charity Chess in Schools and Communities and sponsored by XTX Markets, is a fun-packed celebration of chess aimed at bringing the whole community together through the enjoyment and learning of the game.
Entry to the outdoor festival and all its events on Trafalgar Square is completely free and open to all, and the event is being organised in cooperation with Westminster City Council to ensure the safety of participants.
You are welcome to play in simuls against a Grandmaster or International Master, enjoy a lesson with a professional chess tutor or simply play casual games with family, friends and other members of the public.
ChessFest will commemorate the 150th anniversary of the publication of Lewis Carroll's chess-themed children’s classic, “Alice Through the Looking-Glass” with a live chess game on a giant chessboard, in which 32 actors dressed as Alice Through the Looking-Glass characters will replay a game based on the book.

There will also be an Inter-City Chess Challenge played online as children from London play children from Liverpool, as well as a match between two prodigies, Shreyas Royal from London and Tani Adewumi from New York. Everyone on Trafalgar Square will be able to follow the action on a giant screen, adding to the enjoyment and festive atmosphere.

We look forward to seeing you and your family, friends and clubmates on Trafalgar Square. It promises to be a memorable occasion!

ChessFest promotions officer
