This Easter, Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach Resort is making sure there’s plenty to get excited for, including extended opening hours, live family entertainment – and a hotel deal that means free tickets for the whole family.
The popular Twilight Thrills is making its return for the first time in 2026. On Friday 4 April, Pleasure Beach Resort is extending its opening hours and welcoming thrill seekers until 9pm. Guests can experience 11 hours of adrenaline filled fun on their favourite rides and enjoy on-park entertainment, including live DJ sets and roaming characters making appearances throughout the day.
From April 3-5, Pleasure Beach will also host Easter-themed entertainment, including egg decorating, Easter bonnet making and daily performances hosted by the Pleasure Beach Entertainment Team.
Guests will be able to get competitive and join in traditional Easter competitions like egg and spoon races, and bunny hop races. All entertainment will take place in The Hub and FY4 area of the park.
The following weekend, April 10-12 sees a three-day music led event, Turn It Up Festival, take place on the park. Hits from some of the industry’s biggest “stars”, including K-Pop Demon Hunters, Sabrina Carpenter, Harry Styles and Taylor Swift, will be performed at Pleasure Beach, and the shows are included with every type of eTicket.
Guests can enjoy all that entertainment for less, as Pleasure Beach has extended its popular March weekend ticket offer. Prices have been reduced to £30 until April 6 to mark the start of the holiday season (excluding Saturday).
Not only that, but now guests staying at either the Boulevard or Big Blue Hotel Sunday to Friday can get free tickets for their whole party.
Last year, this deal was only available Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays but have now been extended for 2026!
Amanda Thompson OBE, CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort said:
“Blackpool as a town is committed towards extending the season beyond traditional peak periods. This year, we opened for the February half term and introduced discounted tickets during our Adrenaline Weekends in March.
“Now, we’re excited to keep up that momentum as we move into our first major trading period and welcome guests this Easter.”
Families wanting to enjoy a special Easter meal can book fine dining in style at the White Tower Restaurant, where three course meals are served with stunning penthouse views across the Blackpool promenade. On April 4-5, guests can dine to the soothing sounds of their resident pianist and celebrate Easter Sunday with a traditional Sunday lunch.
“With the weather over Easter looking warmer and drier, it’s a perfect time for families and thrill seekers to enjoy a day out and experience what Blackpool has to offer”, added Thompson.
