The children and young people stayed in the Premier Inn in the Sheffield and as well as the championship snooker enjoyed a stroll through the very impressive Sheffield Town Centre, where the went on a massive Ferris wheel, did a bit of shopping and played some snooker on temporary tables located near to the Crucible.
The World Championship snooker took centre stage of the weekends activities and Children and young people watched the match between Mark Allan and new player Tom Ford.
