Torbay Chess Congress - Venue
We are delighted that the 2018 Torbay Congress will be held at the Livermead House Hotel, Torquay.
Livermead House is located right on the Torquay seafront - a great location for stretching your legs between rounds. The hotel has a large free car park, which is available for Congress participants. The hotel is about 650m from Torquay Station - about an 8 minute walk.
The congress will take place in the Regency and Kingsley Suites, with comfortable space for up to 150 players. The adjacent Cockington Suite will be used as an analysis room.
With three bars offering lunchtime food and snacks, a luxurious dining room, and several comfortable lounges, and free WiFi in all public rooms, there is no need for Congress participants to leave the hotel - notwithstanding the delights of Torquay and the seafront.
During the Congress a special chess lunch will be offered to participants.
Livermead House offers a special package to congress participants; in 2019 this was as follows.
- B&B on the Friday and Saturday nights of the Congress (8th and 9th November 2019) at £62 pppn.

Note: the Livermead House Hotel is not to be confused with the Livermead Cliff Hotel - the Livermead House Hotel is on the inland side of Torbay Road, whereas the Livermead Cliff Hotel is a few hundred metres further south (towards Paignton) and on the seaward side of the road.
