Kick start your 2026 festival season with us as we return to Blackpool's famous North Pier for the ultimate dance music weekender
North Pier Promenade stands as an enduring landmark on the Lancashire coast, a Grade II listed structure that has served as a cultural and entertainment anchor for Blackpool since 1863. It is a testament to Victorian engineering and a cherished public space, consistently evolving its offering while retaining its historic character. This venerable pier is more than a commercial enterprise; it is a significant national asset, hosting a diverse calendar of events that contribute to the town's vibrant cultural tapestry.
Within its various spaces, a distinct atmosphere prevails. The Joe Longthorne Theatre, for instance, offers a classic theatrical setting, where the hushed anticipation before a performance is palpable. Elsewhere, the Bloom Bar provides a sophisticated lounge experience, where the scent of the sea air drifts in through open windows, complementing the panoramic views across the Irish Sea. The robust cast-iron framework, visible throughout, grounds the experience in a tangible sense of history.
Beyond the main theatre, the pier offers adaptable spaces such as the intimate Joe Longthorne Studio and the open-air 'The Garden' for more informal gatherings. Refreshments are readily available from several well-appointed bars and cafes, ensuring guests are catered for throughout their visit. The pier's design, including a mini-train service, ensures accessibility along its considerable length, allowing all to experience its unique charm.
The Promenade regularly stages a broad spectrum of events, from theatrical productions and musical showcases to comedy nights and family-oriented entertainment. It serves as a platform for both established and emerging talent, drawing audiences for varied performances and cultural exhibitions throughout the year, solidifying its role as a dynamic hub for regional and national events.
