The Stanley Returns 4 April 2023 by Visit Blackpool The fabulous Stanley Showbar relaunched after a half a million pound refurbishment last June and has felt like Blackpool’s best kept secret. Just a little walk down from the hustle and bustle of Central Pier you will find the iridescent violet and blue lights that guide you to incredible FREE ENTRY shows at 7 Chapel Street. With a rolling £1,000 cash prize Karaoke competition (ran with sister venues The Bridge and Garlands), everyone’s favourite smartphone speed quiz, drag cabaret Wednesdays, Northern Soul weekends and incredible resident shows Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday created by the spectacular Showcase Entertainments International Ltd there really is something for everyone. Monday Madness includes Open Mic night at the Stanley Showbar with multiple drinks on offer all day at £2.50. Tuesday is the free entry SpeedQuiz hosted by resident Alexandra where you can win yourself a bar tab. Get up and sing on the karaoke in between rounds, play jackpot bingo and see if you can beat the local quizzers that are in every week. Wednesday is a different drag cabaret artist every week hosted by our fabulous resident drag queen Crystal Candyfloss. If you’re lucky Crystal will grace you with her amazing vocal stylings too, you can even get up and duet with her. Thursday will be our first resident show of the week “Ooh La La” featuring all the best tunes from Burlesque, Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby. Friday is our big show night Musical Madness. The fabulous cast will be bringing you the greatest hits from Grease, Chicago, Fame and Footloose. Saturday night is our 80s/90s rewind night. The 80s/90s remixed show was a great success last season so we decided to revamp it for Saturdays with our new show team. The dance floor will be open and ready for you to get up and dance the night away to the best jams of these iconic musical eras. Sunday is a brand new addition this year. The wonderful team at Showcase have put together our very first family show. With beautiful gowns, stunning Disney numbers and your favourite TikTok dances. This free entry event with tasty mocktails available for the children will be an amazing day out for the family if you are visiting Blackpool. The show will be on in the afternoon leaving room for our Karaoke Competition to continue into the evening. The Stanley Showbar is extremely family friendly and the highly rated team (just check out their trip advisor reviews) can’t wait to welcome you with all their fabulous drinks offers, bookable VIP booths (free to book if you purchase one of the many affordable drinks offers) and incredibly warm and friendly staff.
