What’s on at the North’s top casino resorts — the calendar below always shows upcoming dates.

1 Aug Saturday
♠ Poker Tournament £100,000 GTD

Deansgate Main Event

📍 Grosvenor Casino Manchester, Deansgate, Manchester  ·  🕐 August 1, 2026, 12:00 PM

A multi-day tournament at Grosvenor Manchester with a £100,000 guaranteed prize pool, starting at midday. Expect a deep field over the weekend, satellites running beforehand and a very late finish on the final day.

5 Aug Wednesday
♠ Poker Tournament £120 Buy-in

The Gate Deepstack

📍 Aspers Casino Newcastle, The Gate, Newcastle  ·  🕐 August 5, 2026, 1:00 PM

A £120 buy-in deepstack at Aspers Newcastle, kicking off early afternoon with a slow structure and late registration open through the first few levels. A good one if you like having time to play.

12 Aug Wednesday
♠ Poker Tournament High Roller

Manchester High Roller

📍 Grosvenor Casino Manchester, Deansgate, Manchester  ·  🕐 August 12, 2026, 2:00 PM

The biggest buy-in on the Deansgate calendar, with a short field and a quick structure once the day gets going. Registration closes early, so it’s worth arriving well before the two o’clock start.

19 Aug Wednesday
♠ Poker Tournament Charity

Renshaw Street Charity Shootout

📍 Genting Casino Liverpool, Renshaw Street, Liverpool  ·  🕐 August 19, 2026, 7:00 PM

A charity poker night at Genting Liverpool, played as a shootout so the tables clear reasonably early. Entry fees go to a nominated local cause, and it’s aimed at newcomers as much as regulars.

26 Aug Wednesday
♠ Poker Tournament £60,000 GTD

Deansgate Winter Classic

📍 Grosvenor Casino Manchester, Deansgate, Manchester  ·  🕐 August 26, 2026, 12:00 PM

A £60,000 guaranteed tournament at Grosvenor Manchester, starting at midday and playing down across two flights. A more approachable buy-in than the main event, and usually a friendlier field with it.

Treat the dates below as a rough guide — they move. Give the venue a ring before you set off. Poker entry is restricted to guests aged 18 and over under UK licensing, and venues will ask to see photo ID on the door before you sit down.
