Highlights are a selection, not the full schedule. A guarantee is not the final prize pool. Check the official schedule for all flights, satellites and live changes.
The airport lists FLYER buses to Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate, with onward rail connections. Use its transport page for current routes and timetables; a connecting bus is needed for train travel.
Arrow Cars operates from the terminal front. Other private-hire pickups use designated areas. Check the pickup location and arrange your final journey to the casino.
An off-site option at Granary Wharf beside Leeds station’s southern entrance. The hotel lists paid parking and no airport shuttle. Compare the total room cost and the onward route to Westgate; no festival rate is confirmed.
The venue lists a restaurant and bar. Confirm kitchen hours around your tournament breaks; a casino being open 24 hours does not establish all-night food service.
The DoubleTree lists this on-site restaurant and room service. It is a hotel dining option away from the tournament venue; check meal times before returning from a late session.

Winnings & tax
HMRC says that expertise or earning a living from gambling does not by itself make it a trade; income connected with services can be treated differently. This guide has not confirmed event-specific withholding. Ask the organizer about payout paperwork and check obligations in your country of tax residence. Organizer deductions from a prize pool are not automatically tax withholding.
