The North Eastern Bridge Association organises Duplicate Bridge in an area of England that extends from Darlington to Alnwick and from Hexham to Whitby. There are over 20  Bridge clubs affiliated to the NEBA. Some of these clubs will have their own teaching programmes and you are advised to contact your nearest club to see if they offer courses.

Beginners
For beginners, the game IS difficult to learn but in return it will offer you so much more in rewards to your social life and mental health.

If you decide to play with your spouse, be sure that the marriage is a VERY good one.
Murder has been committed at the bridge table! (Well in the bathroom)
Often the husband knows absolutely nothing about the game while the wife plays twice as well.

If your local bridge club does not offer teaching, the most extensive bridge courses are offered at the centres shown above.
As a last resort there are bridge courses on-line and bridge software that might get you started.

Best of luck!
