A year of dancing at Blackpool’s Tower Ballroom

Posted on June 27, 2011

You can now buy an annual pass for Blackpool’s Tower Ballroom, giving dance enthusiasts 12 months of visits to one of dance’s best-known venues.

The Blackpool Tower Annual Pass is available for an introductory price of £96. This allows you to visit the Tower Ballroom as many times as you like (excluding private and special events). It also gives you priority entry, with no queuing, and discounts on food and drinks at the Tea Bar.

Blackpool Council is developing the Tower and Promenade in a £20 million regeneration plan, in partnership with visitor attractions operator Merlin Entertainments. Phase One of the project will be completed in September 2011.

To buy your pass, go to the main entrance of the Tower Ballroom or call 0844 856 1000. You will need a passport-sized photograph.
