Bars & Deck
The Merrie England Bar has been on the pier since 1904. The Carousel Bar, Sun Lounge and open deck are the reasons people stay longer than they planned.
North Pier
Blackpool's oldest pier, open since 1863. A working pier with a proper theatre, sea‑facing event spaces, and more than 160 years of Blackpool life and seaside tradition woven into it.
Since 1863
Blackpool's first pier.
Designed by celebrated Victorian pier engineer Eugenius Birch, North Pier remains a Grade II listed landmark.
