Snooker superstars Steve Davis OBE and Dennis Taylor will chalk up another memorable meeting at Blackpool's Grand Theatre this summer.

The snooker legends team up once again for A Load of Balls and a Snooker Cue at the Blackpool entertainment venue on Sunday 20 July - an entertaining evening of sporting anecdotes and a look back at their incredible careers.

Steve has won more professional titles in snooker than any other player - including six World and four UK Championships during the 1980s.

He is still ranked number 15 in the world and had been named one of the three best snooker players of all time.

Dennis is best known for his infectious sense of humour and his trademark over-sized glasses.

His most unforgettable sporting achievement was winning the 1985 World Championship, beating the then seemingly invincible Steve Davis on the final black in what is considered to be one of the sport's greatest finals.

He also memorably appeared on Chas & Dave's novelty single Snooker Loopy.

A Load of Balls and a Snooker Cue promises to be fun and inspirational to all young and old fans of the sport.

Book now and enjoy the reminiscences surrounding that nail-biting final in 1985, the story behind those famous glasses and hear what Steve and Dennis both see for their future, and the future of their beloved sport.

Proceeds from this entertaining and educational evening will go to the North West Air Ambulance saving lives across the region.

A Load of Balls and a Snooker Cue is at the Grand Theatre, Blackpool on Sunday 20 July at 7.30pm.

All seats are £19 and are on sale now from the Grand Theatre Box Office. Call 01253 290190 or click the link below to book online.
