Saturday 13 June 2026 ● Norbreck Castle Hotel, Blackpool
The Baize Master
Junior Series
The junior event proved the most popular ever in 2025, with almost 32 players entering, and we had the added excitement of junior snooker star Stan Moody making a surprise visit and playing some fun frames against our young hustlers.

Next event is Saturday 13th June 2026, event to start approx 4pm. Players welcome to arrive early.
To support younger generations participating in pool, we have made this event as simple and easy as possible to enter. Juniors are welcome to attend on just the Saturday 13th June to participate. They can be accompanied by up to two responsible adults, for just £15 entry! This includes entry for the adults.
Junior players do not need to be participating in the main competition to enter. They can just attend for the Saturday to participate in the Juniors. Those that are playing in the main team event are welcome to enter the Junior event as well.
This event has now firmly established itself, and we are looking at ways to develop it further, to make the experience more enjoyable and challenging for those taking part.
New sponsor ● Baize Master
Every junior that enters will get their own Baize Master junior players shirt, for free, plus a free Baize Master goodies bag. To qualify for the free shirt we need the player's shirt size at least 2 months prior to the event. For those that enter last minute, we may not be able to supply a shirt on the day.
Places are limited
32 players only
Register and pay to reserve a place, or register in the arena from 10am on the Saturday. Cut off for registration is 3pm.

One band, all weekend
Wristbands & spectators
A players wristband is not required for the Junior Series. Juniors can simply attend on the day to participate. There is no junior wristband rate, so juniors playing in the main tournament during the weekend must have a standard players wristband.
