2025 Belgian Open & European Open

(David Causier and Robert Hall were the champions at our last double-header in Belgium)

Belgian Open & European Open – 17th-21st May ’25

We are looking forward to our double-header of events in Belgium, as we return to The Trickshot in Bruges for the Belgian Open (17-18 May) followed by the European Open (19-21 May). This is our third visit to this venue, having held the above events here previously in 2022 and 2023.

The Belgian Open is a level 3 World Ranking Event and the European Open a level 5, both of which are open to all. The Belgian Open also includes a Challenge Cup for players who don’t reach the knockout stage.

Bruges is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium, in the northwest of the country, and the eighth-largest city of the country by population. Bruges offers a wide range of places to eat and drink, particularly near The Markt, and is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Europe.

The Trickshot has also hosted events on both the World Women’s Snooker Tour and the World Disability tour in recent years. Oli and his team have been superb hosts on our previous visits and we are very grateful for their continued support.
