During the evening, fans can look forward to hearing from the man himself about his illustrious 28-year career in snooker, as well as his time as a broadcaster and commentator. He’s set to talk through brilliant and often hilarious moments, promising an intimate reflection on his fascinating past.

That’s not all. There’s also a chance to win a round of pool with Taylor. So take this as your cue to get your tickets now.

Dennis Taylor was a renowned snooker player through the 1980s and 1990s, famed not only for his glittering success, but also his unique glasses – oversized and worn upside-down. And while they might have looked somewhat comedic, they gave him clearer vision and a better view field, aiding him to become World Snooker champion in 1985.

After hanging up his cue sticks in 2000, Taylor has carved out a successful career in entertainment, providing insightful commentary on the sport for the BBC.
