Ornately decorated dance hall and theater is known for its Mighty Wurlitzer organ, which is played for dancing, concerts and special events during certain times of the year.

The Blackpool Tower Ballroom remains one of the great jewels in Blackpool's crown. The moment you walk through those doors, you are transported back to what seems like a bygone age of grace and civility, in surroundings of slightly faded (part of its charm) beauty and glamour. There is a licenced bar and it is also a fantastic place to enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of delicious cake, whilst listening to the classic tunes played superbly on the magnificent Wurlitzer organ and watching the dancers 'take to the floor'. The Blackpool Tower Ballroom is just a lovely, majestic place to while away a couple of hours and to escape from the hurly-burly of everyday life.

A full house audience on Sunday night joined in the fun with Steve Royale as Smee was great fun and showed his full range of acting,comedy and juggling skills. Well done to everyone for another great pantomime.
9. Pasaje Del Terror
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 606 reviews
Pasaje Del Terror is an interactive and realistic horror experience. A walk through horror show with live actors in which groups of around 8-10 people embark on a terrifying journey, without any guide, through a labyrinth of hair-raising shocks and surprises. A theatrical setting arranged into 20 sets and with around 18 actors lurking in the darkness. The realism of the scenes, the multiple special effects and the shocking energy with which these characters appear out of nowhere will leave you breathless and trembling until you find the exit.

So my friends (Theme Park Nomads) and my partner and I (8-bit family) went and did Journey To Hell: Freak Nights at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. The night itself was a VERY mixed bag- but the finale was of course a trip through Pasaje Del Terror. After a strange long tedious night, we were DESPERATE for some scares. Now, this was October evening, and we had been outside for best part of three hours, including being sprayed with water, being made to kneel in the cold, being shouted at- so we were not in the best of moods. In our wait to enter Pasaje we were entertained by undoubtedly one of our highlights of the entire ordeal. Lantern Man, as we collectively nicknamed him (later found his name is Antony) was BRILLIANT. We were cold and tired but our lantern-wielding guide made us laugh through the whole queue. He dealt with our comebacks with equally clever banter, he stayed in character the whole time, and made us PLEASE, whoever is in charge, give him a raise. The actual attraction was amazing. As avid horror fans, we loved all the references and Easter eggs, every room was themed beautifully and it was genuinely terrifying. Every scare actor was perfectly in character and clearly knew their character well. It truly ended our strange long cold night on a high. If you love horror, like a good scare, or just fancy something different, please give this attraction a go! And thank you, Lantern Man- May your light never go out!

We had an amazing afternoon at viva watching the legendary Joey blower followed by the jersey boys and JJ! It was just what we needed to escape the times right now... the staff were extremely helpful from start to finish and the table service was great!! We felt extremely safe with their one way walkways and hand sanitizers readily available throughout the venue, people adhered to the face mask rule too. Thank you we can’t wait to book again!
