Blackpool Restaurant Week is returning to Blackpool, Lancashire, from 12 March to 19 March 2026, giving residents and visitors the chance to eat out at local businesses for a lower price. Organised by Blackpool BIDs (representing the Town Centre and Tourism sectors) in partnership with VisitBlackpool, the eight-day event features 28 different venues including bars, cafes and restaurants along the Promenade and across the town.
Diners can choose from several special offers, such as two-course meals for £15 or discounts of up to 30 per cent on their food bills. Participating businesses include chippies, ice cream parlours, and hotel restaurants, with some locations also providing deals where children can eat for free.
To help more people visit the town, a flat £1 parking rate has been arranged at four major council car parks from 5pm until midnight. This special price will be available at the Talbot Road, West Street, Alfred Street, and Queen Street car parks throughout the duration of the event.
The initiative, supported by headline sponsor Coral Island, aims to boost the local economy and support independent businesses during a quiet time of year. It also includes partnerships with local charities, such as The Big Food Project and The Burnt Chef Project, to help tackle food poverty and provide mental health support for staff working in the hospitality sector.
