FRIDAY 17TH AND SATURDAY 18TH JULY

11AM - 5.30PM

In honour of the chess hustlers and homeless chess champs both past and present we’ll be hosting our first ever chess themed cup featuring the grand prize – the Street Legends Chess Cup

Learn how to play, enjoy a casual game or get stuck into the tournament.

Entry is restricted to people who have experienced homelessness, poverty or housing instability*. This focus for the cup reflects our pride in the chess champs that emerge in the shelter system, in prison and on the streets.

(*We will not ask for proof of this experience)

Registration opens soon!
