The 888poker LIVE London festival was due to take place at the Grosvenor Victoria Casino this August, but "The Vic" is undergoing a massive refurbishment. While cash games are still taking place during the refurbishment, all scheduled tournaments and festivals have had to find new homes.

With that in mind, let us introduce you to the 888poker LIVE 2024 Manchester festival, taking place at the Grosvenor Casino Bury New Road from August 14-25. The venue hosted 888poker UKPL Manchester stop in mid-April, where Jamie Gerathy won the £560 Main Event for £30,610.

The 12-day spectacular kicks off with a £440 Mystery Bounty Opening Event on August 14, with a £100 Ladies event running alongside it. Other events include a£340 Big Shot with four starting flights, a £1,650 No-Limit Hold'em High Roller, and the eagerly anticipated £1,100 888poker LIVE Manchester Main Event.

888poker ambassadors and streamers, including Lucia Navarro, Vivian Saliba, Ian Simpson, Josh Manley, Nick Eastwood, and Dave Brady, are set to descend on Manchester for the festival, giving you the chance to rub shoulders with some fantastic people.
