Blackpool is serving up a brand-new excuse to eat out, as the resort’s restaurants, bars and food halls join forces for a week of cut-price menus, one-off dishes and foodie events all over town.
Running across one week in March, Blackpool Restaurant Week promises a packed eight days of indulgence, discoveries and deals for anyone who loves dining out.
What Blackpool Restaurant Week is
Blackpool Restaurant Week is described as a fresh initiative designed to shine a spotlight on the town’s food and drink venues and the people behind them.
More than 25 participating venues are offering exclusive deals and promotions, giving diners the chance to discover hidden gems or revisit old favourites.
Organisers say it is about more than eating out, positioning the week as a celebration of Blackpool’s character, warm hospitality and the unique charm of its food scene.
The event is delivered by Blackpool Town Centre BID and Blackpool Tourism BID, which represent businesses across the town centre and tourism sector.
Their aim is to boost footfall, support local operators and cement Blackpool’s reputation as a must-visit destination for dining as well as entertainment.
The week also supports industry charity Hospitality Action, underlining a focus on the wellbeing of the people who work in hospitality.
When it is happening
The second Blackpool Restaurant Week takes place from Thursday March 12 to Thursday March 19 2026.
Across those eight days, venues are rolling out set menus, discounts and special experiences, with offers ranging from value-led deals to more indulgent options.
Headline sponsor Coral Island is backing the programme alongside a host of local partners and funders including the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, Lytham Festival and Blackpool and The Fylde College.
