SNOOKER fans will have the chance to see the world’s leading players in Llandudno next March, with tickets now available.

The Coral Tour Championship will run at Venue Cymru from March 17-22, 2020.

The leading eight players on the one-year ranking list will qualify as Llandudno stages a tournament for the sixth consecutive year.
Ronnie O’Sullivan won the event last year, coming through a strong field which included the likes of Judd Trump, Mark Selby, Neil Robertson and Mark Williams.

The top prize this time is £150,000.

Tickets start at just £15.
All-day tickets for the showpiece final on Sunday, March 22 cost £55, while an event pass for every session of the tournament is £150.
There are also VIP packages available from £75.

The race to qualify started at the beginning of the season in July, and it finishes at the Gibraltar Open on March 13.
The leading eight players on the one-year list at that point will qualify.
It is the third and final event in the Coral Series, with the leading money winner across the series to bank a £100,000 bonus. All three events are televised live by ITV4.
A spokesman for World Snooker said: “We are thrilled to be heading back to a fabulous venue in Llandudno.

"This is a marvellous opportunity to see the very best players on the planet.
"Certain sessions are sure to sell out quickly so fans must book now.
"It is sure to be a strong field packed with players in form and a tremendous spectacle of sport over the six days.”

ALL shows and films have been cancelled at Venue Cymru and Theatre Colwyn.       ref Pioneer

In response to Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s statement on the evening of March 16, both theatres said they would not be staging shows or screening films for the foreseeable.

A spokesperson for Venue Cymru said: “ We will continue to follow guidance as to when we should recommence our programme.

“We kindly ask that you do not contact the box office as our teams will be contacting you soon with further details regarding cancelled and postponed events.

“We understand that this decision will come as a disappointment and inconvenience, but ultimately we all want the same thing: the health and safety of our communities, and we believe this is the correct decision to make.

“Thank you for your patience, understanding and cooperation.

“We appreciate you support and look forward to welcoming you back to Venue Cymru and Theatr Colwyn again very soon.”

In his statement, Mr Johnson said: “We need people to start working from home where they possibly can. And you should avoid pubs, clubs, theatres and other such social venues.”

“It goes without saying, we should all only use the NHS when we really need to. And please go online rather than ringing NHS 111.”


The fifth fund raising Corporate Quiz for Llandudno’s St David’s Hospice scheduled for Wednesday May 13 has been postponed until a future date can be arranged.
Former Welsh rugby international Rupert Moon was to have been the quiz master for this event which last year generated £15,900 for the charity. the Hospice invites local businesses to test their knowledge and pit their wits against some of the brightest sparks in North Wales.

This year’s event was due to have taken place at Venue Cymru.

A MAJOR sporting event that was due to be held in North Wales has been postponed.

The World Snooker Tour (WST) and ITV Sport have taken the decision to postpone this week’s Coral Tour Championship in Llandudno as a precaution against the spread of coronavirus.

The event was due to run from Tuesday to Sunday this week, and it was scheduled to be televised by ITV4.

Following Monday’s announcement from the UK government that public are advised to avoid pubs, clubs, theatres and other such social venues, WST has liaised with ITV Sport and come to the decision to postpone the event, with new provisional dates of July 21-26 this year at Venue Cymru.

"The box office at Venue Cymru in Llandudno will contact ticket holders.

"Those tickets will be transferred automatically to the rescheduled dates. "Fans who are unable to attend in July can contact the box office after April 1 for a refund."

It's not simply an option; under Tort law the organisation has failed to fulfil the contract so has to offer a refund.

IT HAS been almost a year since the last staged performance at Venue Cymru, Llandudno.

The theatre rocked to the songs from Queen on March 14 2020 at We Will Rock You the Musical.

The week following the sell out show run, the venue was transformed for the televised World Snooker Championships – a tournament that was all set up but never played.

Venue Cymru and Theatr Colwyn, along with all others theatres, closed their doors on March 16. A global pandemic, which everyone initially thought would last a few weeks has changed the world, and live entertainment venues forever.

A new report has revealed how Venue Cymru staff had to contact tens of thousands of people to cancel or postpone shows because of the pandemic.

The sheer weight of communications was outlined in a report about customer services to Conwy county council’s finance and resources scrutiny committee which met on Monday.

The study outlined how new box office software installed in 2019, which allowed e-ticketing, helped staff work through tens of thousands of communications when the coronavirus pandemic stopped the world last March, forcing them to cancel shows already booked up.

Venue Cymru was offered up as one of three makeshift Rainbow Hospitals across North Wales.

Staff were hastily equipped with phones and laptops so they could work from home and change tickets, give refunds and help customers book for future shows.

SNOOKER'S biggest names will return to Llandudno next year when Venue Cymru stages the Cazoo Tour Championship.

The town played host to the kings of the baize from 2015 to 2019, then the tournament was postponed when the Covid-19 pandemic started in 2020.

World Snooker Tour (WST) now plans to return to Llandudno for one of the biggest events on the calendar, from March 28 to April 3 in 2022.

“While we have kept our tour going over the past year by staging events in England, we are excited to now be planning to go back to all of the locations we love around the UK, particularly Llandudno on the beautiful North Wales coast," a A WST spokesperson said.

"The town had become a favourite location for many of the players and they will all be striving to qualify for this outstanding tournament and the chance to head back to Venue Cymru.

“Events in Llandudno have always attracted packed crowds and no doubt the fans will look forward to another chance to experience snooker’s unique atmosphere."

SOME of the world's best snooker players will visit Llandudno as the town hosts the Scottish Open ! ! for the first time.  ref pioneetr

The World Snooker Tour competition is set to take place at Venue Cymru from December 6 to 12 with star line-up likely to include names such as Selby, O’Sullivan, world number one Judd Trump, Neil Robertson, Shaun Murphy and Mark Williams. John Higgins, Stephen Maguire and Anthony McGill could also be taking part.

The event was expected to return to Glasgow, where it was held from 2016 to 2019, however a change of venue was required following a contractual issue.

Mark Selby won the title last year by thrashing Ronnie O’Sullivan 9-3 in the final. An incredibly strong field is once again expected, to battle for the Stephen Hendry Trophy. However, Wizard of Wishaw Higgins has set winning this title as one of his remaining goals.

The Scottish Open is the third of four events in the 2021/22 Home Nations Series.
It will receive extensive live television coverage on Eurosport.

Venue Cymru is also set to host the Cazoo Tour Championship next spring.

The theatre is no stranger to snooker, having previously staged events including the World Grand Prix and Players Championship.

THE North Wales economy will be riding the crest of a wave next year thanks to a boom in watersports

Organisers of the 2022 All Wales Boat and Leisure Show are expecting a bumper crowd of 6,000 visitors to attend the event which they say can help kick start the recovery following the slump caused by the Covid-19.

The show is moving under cover to Venue Cymru in Llandudno and will take place earlier in the year than usual, on the weekend of February 5 and 6.

Davina Carey-Evans, managing director of event organisers Sbarc, said: “This will be the biggest celebration of watersports in Wales and is a a must-visit event for boat owners and watersport lovers.

“The marine sector is growing faster in Wales than any other part of the UK and watersports generate an annual tourism spend of more than £300 million.

“Much of that is generated by boating enthusiasts and it’s estimated that 25,000 trailer boats of all sizes are pulled along the A55 every year
