Step inside Blackpool Grand Theatre and you immediately understand why it is known as ‘the glorious Grand’. This is a theatre that takes your breath away before the curtain even rises, with Frank Matcham’s magnificent Victorian auditorium, gilded plasterwork, sweeping balconies, ornate ceiling and unmistakable sense of occasion creating one of the most beautiful settings for live performance in the country.
Yet The Grand is not simply a building to admire. It is a theatre alive with ambition, atmosphere and world-class entertainment. Across the year, its stage welcomes an incredible programme of major productions and unforgettable live experiences, from some of the West End’s biggest musicals and world-premiere stage plays to leading family shows, A-list comedians, classical and contemporary dance, opera, drama, music and bold new work.
This is where audiences come to see the shows everyone is talking about, discover the productions that will become tomorrow’s must-see hits, and experience live performances that fill a room with energy. One night it might be a dazzling musical, the next a gripping new thriller, a laugh-out-loud comedy, a breathtaking dance company, a much-loved opera or a family favourite bringing generations together.
Blackpool Grand Theatre is Lancashire’s premier touring theatre and arts centre, proudly combining rich theatrical heritage with a vibrant, ambitious programme for today’s audiences. It is a place where history, creativity and entertainment meet under one magnificent roof.
Blackpool Grand Theatre is proud to be an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation.
