ABBA, booze, and brunch in one tight package. At Viva Blackpool, you get a live tribute show that runs nonstop, with vocalists and dancers turning classics into a full afternoon sing-along.

Two things I really like are the non-stop ABBA hits and the way the whole experience is built to keep you moving from song to song without awkward breaks. Add in bottomless prosecco, and it’s the kind of event where you’re not hunting for fun after lunch.

One consideration: the meal and the bottomless drinks don’t always feel perfectly timed. One first-timer note I’d take seriously is that food can come before the bottomless starts, so you may want a plan for what you’ll drink with your first bites.

Key highlights you’ll actually care about

• Live vocalists and dancers performing ABBA favorites like Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia
• Bottomless prosecco included to keep the energy up
• A sharing platter built for groups who want to snack together
• Table service that’s geared around getting your food sorted
• Dress-up encouraged, which makes the whole room feel more party-ready
• Three hours in total, so it’s easy to fit into a Blackpool day

Viva Blackpool: your show venue for an ABBA-style brunch party

The big promise here is simple: this isn’t just background music with a meal. It’s staged at Viva Blackpool, at Viva Building, 3 Church St, Blackpool FY1 1HJ, and the format is all about turning the space into a mini concert.

You’ll start at 2:00 pm (with the ticket redemption at Viva Blackpool – The Show & Party Venue). The venue is described as near public transportation, which matters in a place like Blackpool where you may not want to rely on taxis for every leg. And it’s confirmed that service animals are allowed, which is a helpful practical detail if that applies to you.

I also like that this is pitched as a straightforward “most travelers can participate” kind of outing. You’re not dealing with a complicated walking route or a long series of moving parts. You show up, get seated, and the entertainment does the heavy lifting.

If you’re the sort of person who wants a clear plan—arrive, eat, sing, drink, repeat—this fits that mood.

The show experience: non-stop ABBA hits with proper stage energy

The centerpiece is live ABBA performance. Expect non-stop ABBA hits, not a couple of numbers between bites. The show is described as covering songs from Dancing Queen to Mamma Mia, and everything in between, with vocalists doing the singing and dancers keeping the momentum.

What that means for you, in plain terms: it’s built like a proper show, with music driving the pacing. You’re not stuck waiting through long stretches of spoken announcements. Even if you don’t know every single lyric, you’ll likely recognize enough to jump in. The classics ABBA is known for tend to do that.

Costumes are also mentioned as a strong point. That matters more than people think. For an ABBA tribute, the costumes help sell the vibe quickly. The faster you buy into the theme, the easier it is to relax and enjoy yourself.

One more detail that helps: the tone is encouraged as a party. The event encourages sing, drink, and dance along, and dress up is encouraged. That doesn’t force anything on you, but it does tend to change the room. When more people show up in costume, the “stand there politely” crowd gets smaller and the sing-along crowd gets bigger.

Bottomless prosecco: fun included, but mind the timing

Let’s talk about the drink situation, because this is where the experience can feel either perfectly smooth or slightly awkward—depending on when your first glass shows up.

The tour includes bottomless prosecco, and that’s the fuel for the whole vibe. Still, one practical issue shows up in a timing note: bottomless drinks may not start immediately when food arrives. In one detailed firsthand account, doors opened earlier, food started at 2:00 pm, but bottomless drinks were said to begin at 2:30 pm. The takeaway is simple: if you want a drink with your first course, be ready that you might need to pay at the bar until the bottomless starts.

That’s not a deal-breaker. It just affects your expectations. If you show up planning to go straight from arrival to unlimited prosecco without a wait, you might feel a little annoyed. If you come in with the mindset that there’s a short handoff period, you’ll sail through it.

Also, bottomless means you should pace yourself. The point isn’t just to drink—it’s to stay happy and social while the show keeps rolling for about 3 hours. If you’re splitting time between singing and dancing, you’ll feel how quickly alcohol adds up.

The food: a sharing platter that sets you up for the party

This brunch is paired with a mouth-watering sharing platter. Think group-friendly food designed for snacking and passing around rather than a sit-down, plated meal.

Table service is mentioned as very good, and there’s a practical note that you’ll be asked straight away when you want your food. That’s actually a nice feature if you hate standing around waiting. It helps the staff move people through quickly so the show timing doesn’t feel stalled.

One thing to keep in mind: the platter can feel a bit “busy” depending on what’s on it that day. In one account, the platter included items like fried chips and onion rings plus chicken strips (the exact full list isn’t fully captured, but those items were mentioned). That’s a classic brunch-party combo: easy to eat while you’re watching performers and bouncing to the music.

If you’re sensitive to heavy, fried foods, you’ll want to adjust your expectations. The format isn’t designed around light and healthy. It’s designed around comfort and fun, the kind of food that keeps you energized for singing at full volume.

My advice: eat with the show rhythm in mind. Don’t wait until you’re starving. You can still bring energy into the room without feeling stuffed too early.

Timing and what to do when you arrive

This is where small planning saves you from small stress.

Your stated start time is 2:00 pm, and the ticket redemption point is the Viva venue on Church St. What you do on arrival is straightforward: find your way to redemption, get seated, and settle in.

If you’re reading the timing carefully, here’s the pattern suggested by the most detailed firsthand note I have: doors open earlier, food comes at 2:00 pm, and bottomless prosecco starts later at 2:30 pm. That means there’s a built-in “waiting gap” between first bites and the full-drinks flow.

So what should you do?

• If you’re thirsty immediately, know you may need to use the bar before the bottomless kicks in.
• If you’re fine waiting, you’ll avoid the extra spend and just focus on the show.
• If you’re celebrating with friends, agree in advance on a simple drinking plan so everyone’s in sync when the unlimited starts.

Seating is described positively—people said the seating was good and placed well so they could enjoy the show. I can’t promise sight lines from the outside, but the point stands: you’re not likely to be shoved into the kind of spot where you miss the action.

And yes, this event is a “dress up encouraged” situation. Even basic effort—sparkly top, themed accessories, a fun jacket—can level up the whole atmosphere fast.

Price and value: what $55.30 buys you in Blackpool

The price is listed at $55.30 per person, and it’s noted that people often book about 27 days in advance on average. That’s a sign it sells enough that you shouldn’t leave it to the last minute if you want your preferred slot and group size.

So is it good value?

Here’s what you get in the package:

• A live ABBA tribute show with vocalists and dancers
• A sharing platter
• Admission ticket included
• Bottomless prosecco

When you price events, the best deal is usually the one where the entertainment and the drinks are bundled. This does that. If you’re already planning to drink at a show anyway, bundling removes the friction of budgeting mid-event.

The potential catch is the food-and-drinks timing (the drinks may start shortly after food). But even with that, the core value math still holds: bottomless prosecco plus a real show plus a meal for roughly a three-hour block in Blackpool.

One more note: a separate price point was mentioned in a firsthand account as £35 (with an earlier schedule). Prices can vary by date and promotion, so don’t treat the listing price as the only possible number. Still, use the listed rate as your baseline for deciding.

If you’re shopping around for a one-and-done afternoon entertainment event where you don’t have to plan meals or bar stops, this tends to be a strong fit.

Who should book this, and who might want to skip it

This works best if you:

• Love ABBA and want a fun, sing-along style show
• Prefer one-location plans where the event does the timing for you
• Want a group-friendly meal—this is built around sharing
• Like themed nights and don’t mind dressing up a little

It may not fit if you:

• Get annoyed by drink timing that isn’t perfectly aligned to when food arrives
• Want a quiet, sit-and-chat brunch
• Are uncomfortable with the energy of dancing and singing along

Also, it sounds especially good for celebrations. One firsthand note described it as a nice option for a girls celebration. That makes sense here: costumes, music, and drinks bring people together quickly.

Final verdict: should you book ABBA Bottomless Brunch at Viva?

I’d book this if your idea of a good afternoon is music first, food second, and drinks included to keep things lively. The standout strengths are the non-stop ABBA show and the bottomless prosecco setup, with the sharing platter and table service keeping the practical side from becoming a hassle.

If you want a super-regulated, perfectly timed brunch experience with no surprises, then you might feel the short gap between food and bottomless drinks. But if you go in knowing the flow and you’re happy to treat it like a party, the overall formula is exactly the kind of fun Blackpool does well.

Go for it when:

• You’re traveling with friends
• You want an easy plan that’s actually entertaining
• You’d rather pay once for a bundled event than piece everything together
