The Velvet Coaster — Soft Play Venue in Blackpool

The Velvet Coaster sits on Blackpool Pleasure Beach's promenade, originally built in 1900 as a roller coaster ride and now repurposed as one of Britain’s largest adult soft play spaces. It serves children’s meal deals from £4.99 to £5.75 with drink and fruit, perfect for quick lunches after walking the beach or extended evenings with real ale and spritz cocktails. Outdoor seating is available on the promenade.

The Velvet Coaster stands atop a historic ride established in 1900, now reimagined as a soft play venue with ecclesiastical-style architecture visible in its mirrors and bright lighting. The space blends retro amusement park details like wooden coaster panels with traditional British pub finishes such as brick walls and classic signage. Noise levels remain high due to constant activity on the Pleasure Beach promenade.

The Velvet Coaster caters to families with soft play areas where guests enjoy leisurely lunches centered around children’s meals. The signature meal deal includes a drink and fruit, adding real value for visitors. The space is open throughout weekdays and weekends, supporting solo visits, group events, and evening music sessions in Blackpool.
