New Year’s Eve Fest at Blackpool Winter Gardens

Make the last night of 2026 a family occasion at the Empress Ballroom. New Year’s Eve Fest brings together live music and festival-style entertainment on Thursday 31 December.

The tribute line-up features ABBA Fever, Definitely Oasis and Take That tribute Rule The World, giving different generations plenty of familiar songs to enjoy together.

Beyond the stage, the advertised entertainment includes dancers, stilt walkers and fire performers. Children’s activities include inflatables, hair braiding and a glitter station, with street food and sweet treats available to buy.

Tickets and age guidance

The event starts at 7.30pm. General admission is advertised from £20.33, with VIP options available.

Suitable for ages four and above. All under-18s must be supervised by a responsible adult aged 21 or over. Check the Winter Gardens booking page for availability and full event conditions.

Where to dine before the show

There are plenty of restaurants within a few minutes’ walk. Aim to sit down at least 90 minutes before curtain up, and book ahead on Saturdays and during the Illuminations, when the town gets busy.

Save on your pre-theatre meal with Tastecard. Tastecard members get 2-for-1 meals or money off food at over a dozen Blackpool restaurants and thousands across the UK. Search for Blackpool to see which restaurants near the theatre take it before you book your table.
