The Grosvenor UK Poker Tour (GUKPT) launched in 2007 and is still going strong today. Now in its 18th season, the popular tour has visited dozens of cities across the United Kingdom, with the seaside town of Blackpool ever-present throughout its existence.

Blackpool is famous for its pleasure beach, “The Big One” rollercoaster, and being a haven for stag dos and hen parties. But for a week each year – twice per year since 2023 – Blackpool attracts poker players from far and wide because the GUKPT is in town.
