We carry a wide range of chess goods in our chess shop at the centre - have a look by clicking on the links above

We have some high quality chess sets but we also stock the standard hard-wearing vinyl tournament sets that are particularly suitable for schools. We can order themed sets for collectors (though we don't recommend these for everyday chess because the pattern recognition of the standard Staunton-style pieces is so important for children developing their game).

Our giant sets are proving to be great for schools, hotels, resorts, cruises, homes and landscapers. It is a terrific way of encouraging children to take up the game, to their immense benefit. If you want to set up outdoor chess quickly and easily we have giant and terrace chess sets and suitably-sized light-weight nylon mats. See the link here.

We also have clocks of various kinds, videos, CDs, chess computers and chess software for PCs.

Our stock of books is excellent, catering to the young beginner and to much more advanced players.

If there is any chess item you want to buy and you can't find it elsewhere, please send us an email at info@gardinerchess.com and we will hunt it down for you.
