About Grand Theatre

Step inside one of Britain’s most beautiful historic theatres and discover more than 130 years of entertainment at the heart of Blackpool.

Blackpool Grand Theatre opened in 1894 and was designed by celebrated Victorian theatre architect Frank Matcham. Today, its magnificent four-level auditorium continues to provide a spectacular setting for live entertainment, combining the splendour and character of a historic theatre with an exciting, year-round programme for audiences of all ages.

From West End and Broadway musicals to gripping drama, outstanding dance, laugh-out-loud comedy and much-loved family entertainment and annual pantomime, there is always something new to discover at The Grand. Its programme regularly brings acclaimed performers and leading companies to the Lancashire coast, making it an essential part of a visit to Blackpool for theatre lovers and newcomers alike.

The Grade II* listed building is situated on Church Street in the heart of the resort, offering a memorable addition to a day out, weekend break or longer stay in Blackpool. Whether it’s your first visit or part of a long-standing family tradition, there’s something magical about taking your seat as the lights go down in this remarkable theatre.
