29 Jul Wednesday
♠ Poker Tournament £80,000 GTD

Marina Series Main Event

📍 Rendezvous Casino Brighton, Brighton Marina  ·  🕐 July 29, 2026, 12:00 PM

Brighton’s biggest card weekend of the season, with a guaranteed prize pool and a noon start on the marina. Two starting flights, late registration through the early levels, and a terrace to escape to between hands.

3 Aug Monday
♠ Poker Tournament £110 Buy-in

Gunwharf Sunday Deepstack

📍 Grosvenor Casino Gunwharf Quays, Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth  ·  🕐 August 3, 2026, 1:00 PM

A one-day tournament at the harbourside venue with a friendly buy-in and a clock slow enough to keep beginners in their seats. Cards in the air at one, and most players are finished in time for dinner on the quay.

11 Aug Tuesday
♠ Poker Tournament High Roller

The Marina High Roller

📍 Rendezvous Casino Brighton, Brighton Marina  ·  🕐 August 11, 2026, 2:00 PM

A higher buy-in event for experienced players, capped in numbers and played across a single long afternoon and evening. Registration closes early, so arrive before the two o’clock start if you want a seat.

18 Aug Tuesday
♠ Poker Tournament Charity

Westover Road Charity Night

📍 Grosvenor Casino Bournemouth, Westover Road, Bournemouth  ·  🕐 August 18, 2026, 7:00 PM

A low-key charity tournament near the pier, with a small entry, donated prizes and a rebuy hour for the impatient. Proceeds go to a Dorset cause and the whole thing wraps up well before midnight.

24 Aug Monday
♠ Poker Tournament £50,000 GTD

Sussex Coast Autumn Classic

📍 Rendezvous Casino Brighton, Brighton Marina  ·  🕐 August 24, 2026, 12:00 PM

A guaranteed-pool tournament for the shoulder season, starting at noon and running through the afternoon at the marina. A gentler structure than the Main Event, and a good introduction to live tournament play.

Coastal calendars wobble, so take these as a rough steer. Have a word with the venue before you set off. Dates move with the seasons on the coast, so check before you book a room, and remember that poker entry is restricted to guests aged 18 and over under UK licensing.
