ABBA Bottomless Brunch – Including Drinks, Food & Show!

ABBA is the main course here. At Viva Blackpool, live vocalists run through Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia, and other familiar hits while you eat, drink, and sing from your table. I like the live vocals and costumes, plus the way the afternoon works as both a meal and a full show.

I also like the central Church Street location, which makes this an easy add-on to a day in Blackpool. The main thing to watch is the timing: one account lists food at 2pm and bottomless drinks beginning at 2:30pm, so you may need to buy a drink separately if you want one with your meal.

Key points at a glance

• Three hours of live ABBA: Expect a continuous run of well-known songs, with vocalists and dancers leading the room.
• Sharing platter included: The food is served as a large platter rather than a traditional plated brunch.
• Bottomless prosecco: The drinks element is part of the package, but the supplied timing details indicate it may begin after food is served.
• Dress-up atmosphere: Costumes and festive clothes fit the spirit of the afternoon, and dressing up is encouraged.
• Viva Blackpool location: The venue is at Building 3, Church Street, in central Blackpool, close to public transportation.
• Good for a celebration: The format suits birthdays, hen parties, girls’ afternoons, and anyone who prefers a lively group event to a quiet meal.

ABBA takes over Viva Blackpool

The appeal is simple: you are not sitting through a standard tribute concert, and you are not merely eating brunch with background music. The afternoon combines a live ABBA show, food, prosecco, and a room full of people encouraged to sing along.

The performers cover the big songs most people hope to hear, including Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia. The program is described as non-stop, so the music is the engine of the afternoon rather than a short feature between courses.

That makes this a strong pick if you want energy from the first song. It is less suitable if your idea of brunch means a calm table, long conversation, and carefully paced food service. The room is designed for participation. You may find yourself singing from your seat, clapping along, or standing up as the show gathers pace.

The live vocalists are supported by dancers and colorful costumes. That visual side matters. An ABBA afternoon depends on more than simply playing the recordings, and the costumes help create the bright, playful style associated with the group.

Arriving at 2pm on Church Street

The meeting point is Viva Blackpool, Building 3, 3 Church Street, Blackpool FY1 1HJ. The venue is near public transportation, so you do not need to treat this as an excursion requiring a complicated transfer or a full day away from town.

The stated start time is 2pm, and the experience lasts about three hours. One detailed account gives a slightly fuller schedule: doors at 1:30pm, food at 2pm, and bottomless drinks beginning at 2:30pm.

I would treat that distinction as important. If you arrive expecting prosecco as soon as you sit down, you could be caught out. Bring enough time to get through the door, find your table, and settle in before the food service begins. If you want a drink during the first half-hour of food, you may need to pay at the bar.

The venue’s central position also helps with the rest of your day. You can plan the brunch as an afternoon event before an evening meal, a night out, or other Blackpool entertainment. The three-hour length gives the show enough time to feel like a proper occasion, though it also means you should not schedule something immediately afterward.

A sharing platter, not a classic brunch plate

Food is included, but the style is worth understanding before you book. You receive a large sharing platter rather than a traditional individual brunch with eggs, toast, pastries, or a carefully arranged main course.

The platter is described as including fried chips, onion rings, and chicken strips. That makes it straightforward party food, built for sharing and easy eating while the show carries on. It is the sort of meal that works well with prosecco and a lively room, but it will not suit everyone looking for a refined or varied brunch.

The large serving can be useful for a group. You can pick at the food between songs without interrupting the show, and the shared format keeps the table informal. It also means that you should think about your group’s tastes before booking. Fried food may be exactly right for a celebratory afternoon, but it can feel heavy, and the platter may seem unusual if you expected a classic brunch menu.

Food is pre-ordered, and table service is part of the setup. A detailed account describes staff asking promptly when the meal was wanted. That is helpful because you are not left trying to find food service while the performers are on stage.

Still, the timing deserves attention. If food arrives at 2pm and drinks do not begin until 2:30pm, the first course of the afternoon may feel separate from the bottomless part of the package. Check the current timing when you book, especially if the drinks are a major reason you are choosing this event.

Live singers, dancers, and familiar songs

The musical program is the heart of the experience. The performers run through ABBA’s best-known material, with the audience invited to sing and dance along.

You do not need to be a serious ABBA fan to recognize the major songs. Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia are built for a group setting, and the familiar chorus makes participation easy. If you know the band’s music well, you will get more from the full run of hits and the chance to sing without worrying about being heard.

The show also appears to have a strong visual component. The vocalists wear costumes, and dancers join the performance. That gives the afternoon a cabaret feel rather than a simple concert format.

I would set your expectations correctly. This is a tribute show, not an ABBA reunion or a museum-style presentation about the original group. The pleasure comes from the songs, the performers’ stage energy, and the room’s response.

The best seat in this kind of setting is not necessarily the one closest to the stage. Your experience depends on how much you want to see the performers and how much you want to interact with your group. Seating is arranged for the meal and show, and one detailed account found the seating good and in the expected location. Specific seat selection details are not provided, so do not assume you can choose a particular table unless that is confirmed at booking.

Why the party format works

The event is designed to get you involved. Dressing up is encouraged, and the combination of costumes, music, food, and prosecco gives the afternoon a clear theme.

That makes it especially well suited to a birthday, girls’ celebration, hen party, or a group looking for a cheerful start to an evening. One account described it as a good afternoon for a girls’ celebration, while another described leaving in a much better mood than when arriving. You should read that as a clue to the event’s emotional appeal: it is built to lift the room.

The group format also takes pressure off you. You do not need to be a confident dancer or know every lyric. You can simply clap, sing the choruses, and enjoy the spectacle from your table.

There is a tradeoff. A party event works best when the room is ready to join in. If you prefer quiet service, serious food, or a performance with no audience participation, the same features may feel noisy or overdone. The word bottomless describes the drinks, but the overall spirit is also generous with noise, singing, and movement.

Is $55.30 good value?

At $55.30 per person, the value depends on how you price the parts. You are paying for about three hours at a dedicated venue, live entertainment, a sharing platter, and bottomless prosecco.

If you would otherwise pay separately for a tribute show, a meal, and several drinks, the package can make sense. It also removes some planning. You do not need to choose a restaurant before the show, find an ABBA tribute later, or arrange a second venue for the first part of your night.

The package is less compelling if you mainly want a meal. The platter is casual and fried, and the bottomless drinks may not begin at the exact time you first sit down. In that case, part of the price is paying for the performers and the party atmosphere. You should book it for the combined occasion, not just for the food.

One account gives a previous price of £35, while the current stated price is $55.30. Prices can vary by date, currency, and booking conditions, so use the price shown when you select your date. The important question is not whether it is the cheapest afternoon meal in Blackpool. It is whether three hours of live ABBA entertainment and included drinks fit your plans.

Practical details that affect your afternoon

Confirmation is provided when you book. The ticket redemption point is the Viva Blackpool venue itself, so keep the booking details available when you arrive.

The experience is near public transportation, which is useful in Blackpool if you do not want to drive into the center. The information provided does not specify a group size, so you should not assume a small, intimate audience. The setup, music, and shared food all point to a social event with several tables.

Most people can participate, and service animals are allowed. If you have other access needs, contact the venue before booking because the available details do not explain seating, step-free access, or restroom arrangements.

The cancellation terms are forgiving if your plans change early. You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the local start time. Cancellations or changes made less than 24 hours before the experience are not accepted for a refund.

I would also keep the start time in mind when planning transport home. The event lasts about three hours, so a 2pm start should take you into the late afternoon. The exact finish can vary slightly with the show and service.

Who will enjoy this most

You will probably enjoy this experience if you like recognizable pop music, live tribute acts, and a meal that comes with a lot of audience participation.

It is a natural fit for:

• A birthday or girls’ celebration
• A hen party or pre-evening-out gathering
• ABBA fans who want a full run of popular songs
• Groups who like to dress up and sing together
• Visitors seeking an afternoon event in central Blackpool
• Anyone who prefers a lively show to a quiet restaurant meal

You may want another option if you need a special diet, dislike fried food, or want to control the pace of your meal and drinks. The provided details do not list vegetarian, vegan, allergy, or gluten-free choices, so ask Viva Blackpool directly before paying if those matters affect your decision.

Should you book the ABBA Bottomless Brunch?

Book it if the phrase ABBA, prosecco, and a room full of singing people sounds like your kind of afternoon. The strongest parts are the live vocalists, dancers, costumes, familiar songs, and the ease of having food and entertainment in one central venue.

Go in with clear expectations. This is a party show with a casual sharing platter, not a polished dining experience. Confirm when the bottomless drinks begin, arrive with time to spare, and choose it for the complete event rather than the food alone.

For an ABBA fan, a celebration group, or anyone wanting a cheerful Blackpool afternoon, the package offers a lot in three hours. For a quiet brunch or a carefully planned meal, it may leave you wishing the music, food, and drinks had been handled separately.
