Snooker On Your Street Comes to Bristol
If you’re in the Bristol area this Tuesday evening, clear your diary. Snooker On Your Street — the community programme launched jointly by Smart Energy GB and World Snooker Tour — is hosting a special event in Yate on September 1, and it promises to be an evening of entertainment, interaction, and genuinely useful advice.
The headline attraction? None other than six-time World Champion Steve Davis, one of the most recognisable figures in the history of the sport, will be there in person. Whether you want to pick his brain about decades at the top of professional snooker or simply shake the hand of a legend, this is your chance.
What’s Happening and Where
The event takes place at the Maxi Lounge, 39 South Parade, Yate (BS37 4BB), from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. Entry is free, and there’s something for everyone — from casual fans who fancy a night out to dedicated snooker enthusiasts looking for a unique experience.
Here’s what’s on offer:
- Meet Steve Davis — a chance to meet one of snooker’s all-time greats in an intimate, community setting.
- Fun challenges and prizes — take part in snooker-themed activities with the opportunity to win prizes.
- Smart meter information — practical, straightforward advice on how smart meters can help you track your energy usage and find ways to reduce your bills.
What Is Snooker On Your Street?
Launched earlier this year, Snooker On Your Street is a community initiative designed to bring professional snooker closer to the grassroots while tackling a subject that affects every household in the country: energy costs. The programme connects approximately 250 community snooker clubs across Great Britain, providing them with resources, activities, and practical guidance to help members and local residents understand how smart meters work and how they might help save money on energy bills.
It’s a refreshingly different approach to community engagement — combining the universal appeal of snooker with real-world financial advice in a setting that feels relaxed and accessible rather than formal or preachy.
Why It Matters
Energy costs remain a pressing concern for households across the UK. Smart meters offer a simple, practical tool for monitoring usage in real time, helping people identify where energy is being consumed and where small adjustments could make a difference. The Snooker On Your Street programme aims to cut through the noise and deliver that message in environments where people already feel comfortable — their local snooker clubs and community venues.
Peter Wright, Chief Commercial Officer at World Snooker Tour, explained the thinking behind the programme: «We are proud to have launched Snooker on Your Street in partnership with Smart Energy GB, bringing our sport closer to the communities that support it. This programme is about more than just snooker — it’s about creating opportunities for people to connect and engage with important topics like energy use in a way that feels relevant and accessible.»
Phillippa Brown, Deputy Director at Smart Energy GB, added:
«It’s so important that partnerships like this one provide opportunities to help people in communities across the country manage the high cost of living. We hope that the information sessions will give people real, actionable advice to help them manage their finances and see how a smart meter could help them to save a little money on their energy bills.»
Don’t Miss It
Events like this don’t come along every day — the chance to meet a snooker legend, enjoy a fun evening out, and pick up genuinely useful energy advice, all in one place, all for free. If you’re anywhere near Yate on Tuesday evening, it’s well worth dropping by.
