Mahjong Moments with Tea & Treats

  • Activity
  • Learning

Mahjong is one of the most popular traditional Chinese games, enjoyed for centuries across Asia and beyond. Played with a set of 144 tiles marked with Chinese characters and symbols, the game combines strategy, memory, calculation, and a touch of chance. Often played in groups of four, mahjong is as much about friendly competition as it is about connection – sparking conversation, laughter, and community wherever it is played.

Join for a relaxing afternoon to celebrate this cultural classic. Whether you are a seasoned player or just curious to learn, this is the perfect chance to experience the beauty of mahjong. Bring along your friends and loved ones, sip fragrant teas, enjoy delicious snacks, and immerse yourself in a tradition that has brought people together for generations.

Beginners are welcome. Places are limited so bookings are essential.
