Squash

The gates are shut. The draw is sealed. The North Wales Open 2026 is officially full, with 96 players ready to battle it out over two days beneath the mountains of Eryri. From the first serve at Canolfan Brailsford, Bangor University, the arena will host 148 matches across four courts, with players arriving from 24 different clubs across Wales, England and beyond. Built for pressure and designed for close competition, this year’s event is bigger, sharper, and louder than ever. No easy matches. No quiet corners. Just squash — the way it’s meant to be.
