Central Pier

Central Pier is at the heart of the Blackpool coastline, neighboured by South and North Pier. Featuring an array of attractions including Blackpool’s world-famous Big Wheel. The perfect place to entertain the family with amusements, games, rides, and bars.

 

The Terrace Bar overlooks the beautiful Irish Sea. Watch the waves with a refreshing drink in hand while enjoying summer songs from live performers/DJ’s daily throughout summer. Open daily from 11am and operates on a walk-in basis.

 

The King & Queen’s tribute show is held at Central Pier Show Bar. Dates are scheduled from April 16th – December 31st, so plenty of opportunity to make a date! Each show features 4 music legends.

 

The amusement arcade at the front of the pier is packed with classic gaming machines from roller derby to hi-tech simulators. You will also come across Pirates Bay arcade mid-way down the deck offering a further chance to win tickets that can be exchanged for prizes in the gift shop.

 

At the end of the pier is Pirate's Bay Family Bar with FREE entertainment scheduled across the season. Sit back, relax, and have a drink or some food from Captain Cook’s food kiosk. Seating for up to 700 guests!
