At VibeLive Collective, we believe poker is about far more than what happens at the table. It is about the people who play the game, the communities that form around it, and the stories that emerge wherever players gather.

That is why we are delighted to be supporting the next stop of the PartyPoker Tour, which arrives at Manchester235 Casino from 13–21 June for what promises to be one of the highlights of the 2026 tour calendar.

As the team behind player experiences, creator engagement, and community initiatives across the tour, VibeLive Collective is proud to help bring the human side of poker to life. Through content creation, live coverage, interviews, and creator collaborations, we aim to celebrate the personalities and experiences that make every festival unique.

Located within the historic Great Northern Warehouse, Manchester235 is one of the UK’s most distinctive poker destinations. Combining heritage architecture with a vibrant modern casino, it provides the perfect setting for a week of competition, entertainment, and connection.

The festival schedule includes:

• £150 Mini Main Event (£50,000 Guaranteed)
• £500 Main Event (£100,000 Guaranteed)
• £1,000 High Roller
• Daily side events and promotions
• Online satellites and qualification opportunities

One of the most player-friendly aspects of the PartyPoker Tour remains its commitment to 0% prize pool deductions, ensuring that what players compete for is exactly what is paid out.

No Two Tour Stops Are Ever Quite the Same

Every stop on the PartyPoker Tour develops its own character.

The venues change. The cities change. New players arrive, familiar faces return, and different stories emerge around the tables. Manchester has always been one of those locations that feels distinct. With its rich industrial heritage, thriving cultural scene, and passionate poker community, it brings together people from remarkably different backgrounds who share a love of the game.

For VibeLive Collective, these are the moments that matter. While the tournaments provide the structure, it is the people who give each stop its identity. Throughout the week, we’ll be capturing player stories, sharing behind-the-scenes moments, and celebrating the personalities that make the poker community such a unique and welcoming space.

Whether you’re taking your first shot at a live event, chasing a title, or simply enjoying the atmosphere, you’re part of what makes the tour special.

Why Manchester?

Manchester is a city built on reinvention. From its industrial roots to its cultural influence in music, sport, literature, and the arts, it has long been a place where communities gather, adapt, and thrive.

That spirit is reflected in Manchester’s poker scene. Manchester235 has become a favourite destination for both recreational players and seasoned professionals, attracting competitors from across the UK and beyond.

For VibeLive Collective, the city provides another opportunity to connect with players, creators, and ambassadors while continuing to showcase the stories that make live poker such a compelling experience.

We look forward to seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and sharing another memorable week in Manchester.

See you at the tables.
