What’s On in Blackpool This Christmas – Stay by the Sea at The Belmont Hotel

Nearby, the Grand Theatre offers a traditional pantomime – a must-see highlight filled with laughter and local character. For those looking for outdoor fun, the skating rink at the Tower Festival Headland gives everyone a chance to glide under the stars, while the town’s many restaurants and bars serve up festive menus and warming drinks. After a day of exploring, returning to The Belmont Hotel is part of the pleasure – cosy, friendly, and perfectly located for guests who want to make the most of every moment.
