Central Pier Blackpool

Venue Details

🎡 Central Pier

Opened in 1868, Central Pier is one of Blackpool’s most iconic and historic attractions, perfectly positioned between the famous Blackpool Tower and South Pier along the vibrant promenade.

Originally built to provide entertainment and leisure to the town’s booming Victorian tourism trade, Central Pier has evolved into a lively hub of family fun and live entertainment. Today it is home to the popular Showbar, amusement arcades, bars, and the towering Big Wheel that offers stunning panoramic views across the Irish Sea and the Blackpool coastline.

Renowned for its traditional seaside charm blended with modern entertainment, Central Pier continues to be a focal point of Blackpool’s nightlife and live performance scene — hosting comedy, music, cabaret, and variety shows throughout the year.

A true landmark of British seaside culture, Central Pier remains at the heart of Blackpool’s entertainment heritage.
