Sincerest apologies for the late notice - I was sure I'd posted here already..
Details on this year's Galway Chess Congress (April 8th to 10th) are here: http://www.galwaychess.com/galway-congress-2016/.
Not quite in the UK, granted, but flights and bus-fare are still available for half-nothing, so the only issue might be finding accommodation at this late stage.
And given the low showing so far (especially for the Masters section)*, perhaps some of you could even make a profit on the weekend, to make up for having to spend a weekend playing chess in our lovely city
*The old chestnut - do players actually enter competitions for the potential prize-money/expected financial return? Hmm...
