BTID Pier on the Pier is back on Blackpool's North Pier for a two-day dance weekend in May. Festival tickets start at £105 — decent value if you're already planning a seaside trip.
The deal
Dance festival across 23–24 May 2026 at Blackpool North Pier. Entry from £105 per person. This covers festival access only; accommodation and travel aren't bundled in.
Why we like it
It's a proper pier setting, which beats the usual car park or warehouse vibe. The price is reasonable for a two-day festival if the lineup suits you. The May timing slots nicely before summer festival season ramps up.
Catch: you'll need to sort your own accommodation and transport to Blackpool. Blackpool's not remote, so trains from Manchester or Liverpool are easy enough, but factor that into your budget. Weather in May can be dodgy, and a pier venue means wind — bring a jumper.
How to book
Head to the festival organiser's page for the full lineup, schedule, and ticket options. You can book accommodation separately in Blackpool — plenty of hotels and B&Bs near the seafront if you want to stay over.
