Events in Blackpool From 25th May – 31st May 2026

You can find a diverse range of events in Blackpool this week, with options for evenings out or things to do in the town. Live music is a strong part of the schedule, from tribute acts to original performances. Plan your evening at a venue along the seafront, or check for shows near the Winter Gardens. For creative types, hands-on workshops are available, including sessions near the Grundy Art Gallery that connect with local arts. Comedy is also on offer, with stand-up routines from established acts and emerging performers, mainly at the Comedy Station Comedy Club. You’ll also find opportunities to engage with the local arts scene through unique events. The music options range from traditional ballroom sounds at the Tower Ballroom to newer sets, and there are craft-focused workshops too. Choose based on your mood, and plan travel time, especially during busy periods when the Blackpool Tramway can get crowded. Parking near the Pleasure Beach and central piers is often limited, so using the railway or tram system is best. Check the listings below for times and venues. Consider visiting the Blackpool Tower as part of a visit, or include a walk along the North Shore in your plans. The town, historically a seaside resort since the late 19th century, continues to host a varied entertainment programme year-round.
