The BNR Poker Open 2026
10 – 25 Oct 2026 · Grosvenor Casino Manchester Bury New Road, United Kingdom
The BNR Poker Open plays Grosvenor Casino Manchester Bury New Road from 10 to 25 October 2026: £280,000 in guarantees across sixteen days, with no event costing more than £300 to enter.
The idea
A festival with a ceiling. Grosvenor caps every buy-in at £300 and still puts £280,000 of guarantees behind the schedule — the opposite trade from a high-roller week, and aimed squarely at players who want volume rather than one big-ticket shot.
Two weeks of poker in one room
The Open's last week overlaps the G300's Manchester BNR leg, which runs 20 to 25 October at £260+£40 for £100,000 guaranteed. Between the two, Bury New Road has guaranteed tournament poker running for most of October.
Points
The festival is on Grosvenor's National Poker League list, so events count towards the season-long points race.
Getting in
Online feeder satellites ladder up from £1 into live event credit, which is handed in at the casino cash desk as full or part payment towards a buy-in.
