From established annual gatherings to one-off experiences between June 28th and July 5th, this week’s calendar caters to varied tastes. Expect opportunities for lively evenings – with music playing a key role, particularly around the Winter Gardens and along the Promenade – and options to enjoy a night out. There are also chances to experience more relaxed and engaging events, such as performances at the Grand Theatre. This week presents a mix of themed occasions, live entertainment, and opportunities to enjoy local hospitality. You can discover performances geared towards different ages and interests, alongside experiences that offer a new perspective on the town’s leisure scene. Consider utilising the Blackpool Tramway to access events; the system connects key areas like the Pleasure Beach and North Pier. For something a little different, there’s a selection of experiences offering fresh entertainment. Things to do in Blackpool this week are plentiful, from celebrations to intimate performances. Keep in mind that parking can be limited in central areas, and the railway system offers convenient access.

There’s also a sporting focus, with events catering for fans, potentially utilising Stanley Park for outdoor activities. And, if you fancy some comedy, there’s a chance to see well-known performers at the Winter Gardens’ Empress Ballroom, or one of the many smaller venues. With events at various times of day, you’ll be able to fit something into your schedule, whatever your plans. Be aware that the area around the Winter Gardens may experience congestion due to ongoing redevelopment.

Check the listings below for times and venues. You might find events at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, though access can be busy during peak season. The M55 motorway and Blackpool North and South railway lines also offer options for getting around.
