The Winter Gardens Blackpool in Lancashire has launched its spring 2026 events programme, bringing a variety of concerts, family shows, and community gatherings to the town between February and March. This new season follows a recent change in management, with the venue now run by the council-owned company Blackpool Tourism Limited.
The line-up features performances from tenor Paul Potts on February 14, 2026, and a Martin Kemp 80s DJ set on March 14, 2026. Between February 19 and February 22, 2026, the venue will host the Blackpool Magic Convention, which is known as the largest gathering of magicians in the world. Local residents can also attend a large recruitment event when the Blackpool Jobs Fair takes place on February 26, 2026.
Community events are also a focus, with 600 young people from 15 local schools set to perform in the Empress Ballroom for Lancashire Sings on March 3, 2026. This event is organised by the Lancashire Music Hub. Nearby at the Blackpool Grand Theatre, visitors can see performances from illusionist Derren Brown and the Varna International Ballet throughout the spring season.
