Viva Blackpool is the Vegas Venue in the Heart of Blackpool!Launched in 2012 in a former disused Bingo Hall, the venue now hosts over 400 shows and events each year and is listed as one of the top attractions in Lancashire on TripAdvisor. The venue is located right next door to Blackpool Tower on the promenade directly opposite the brand new Festival House in the former Lewis' department store - an unrivalled tourist location in an area with traditional values and high aspirations.In the first year of trading we attracted national television coverage from BBC1 and appeared on prime time Saturday TV during Ant & Dec's ITV series Saturday Night Takeaway.The venue is both a producing and visiting show destination - with our own brand of 'VIVA' shows appearing year round alongside visiting performances from a variety of promoters and theatre companies as 'Viva presents' performances.We also host private shows, events, weddings alongside our show schedule with event organisers seeing considerable savings and assistance with our in house facilities and expertise in catering, entertainment, sound & light, video/graphics and more. A continued reinvestment strategy has introduced a second small show and function room space called 'The Round Room' catering for up to 120 people also hosting a successful comedy brand called 'The Comedy Station' which appears weekly, and the 'Festival Suite' designed in a marquee pavilion style to host weddings and functions as ceremonies take place literally over the road at the nearby Festival House.In 2017 we opened a brand new dining and entertainment concept on Blackpool Promenade titled 'The Viva Vegas Diner, Bar & Grill' located below our entertainment venue on the first floor. A concept based upon the modern version of the classic US diner, the outlet blends great comfort food, drinks and entertainment around the 'Vegas' theme.

In 2020 (just prior to Covid) we setup Viva Entertainments as a part of the Viva Group to create a company dedicated to the development of further residential productions at our Viva Blackpool venue, but also specifically oversee touring show activity which is becoming more of a key business (and marketing / ambassadorial) activity for The Viva Group
