Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach Resort has unveiled plans for its festive season, headlined by a Christmas Grotto Wonderland experience.
Running on select dates from Saturday 21 November to Thursday 24 December 2026, the seasonal event invites families to meet Father Christmas and explore an interactive festive walkthrough.
As part of the grotto experience, children will be able to decorate a bauble to hang on the Christmas tree, collect reindeer food and a magic key, and receive a gift from Santa Claus. Each ticket also includes a complimentary hot drink and entry to the classic dark ride Alice in Wonderland.
Tickets for the Christmas Grotto Wonderland start at £19.99 when booked online in advance, and includes admission for up to two accompanying adults.
Amanda Thompson OBE, CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort, commented:
"We’re combining the magic of visiting a theme park with the joy of the Christmas period, and the result, a truly special day out with memories to last a lifetime. Our season may be coming to a close and we intend to end it with a festive celebration fitting for the wonderful year we’ve been fortunate enough to share with all of our guests."
More Festive Entertainment and End-of-Season Fireworks
Alongside the grotto, Pleasure Beach Resort is hosting a wider programme of seasonal activities across the resort:
- Pantomime: Performances of Aladdin at The Globe theatre.
- Ice Skating: Public sessions at the Pleasure Beach Arena.
- Dining and Parties: Festive lunches at the White Tower restaurant and evening Christmas Hollywood Party Nights.
For thrillseekers looking to get their final ride fix of the year, the park will conclude its main 2026 ride season on Saturday 28 November with a late-night fireworks display.
Tickets for the Christmas Grotto Wonderland, the final weekend of the 2026 ride season, and other festive events are available to book in advance via the Pleasure Beach Resort website.
