We have a range of entertainment and venues available around the district.  Listed below are some of the main venues around town.

I also hope to have a new entertainment directory online in the future.

Some of the main festivals and events should appear here soon.

The Platform Arts Centre

This used to be the towns Promenade Railway Station. It was converted into an entertainment centre after the station moved to a new location in the mid 1990s.

The Platform is a small venue which can host a number of events including: theatre, cabaret, fairs, small concerts etc.

It is located on the Central Promenade, opposite the Midland Hotel. A family pub is housed at one end while the Tourist Information Centre is at the front of the building.

The Morecambe Dome

This was built in 1979 as a small entertainment venue. It can seat up to 650 and is used for theatre, events, concerts etc..

The Victoria Pavillion

The Victoria Pavillion was built in 1897 as part of an extension to the original Winter Gardens (now demolished).

The theatre (seen to the right) staged its last performance in 1977.  It was externally restored in the mid 1990s and has since been taken over by the Friends of the Victoria Pavillion.

The theatre is partially open to the public usually on Sundays. There's access to the foyer but access is limited in the auditorium.

It is hoped to be opened for entertainment and events sometime in the future.

Festival Market

This is the towns market hall but is also used for large festivals and events during the summer months. It can hold up to 3000 people.

It is located directly behind the Platform Arts Centre.

Apollo Cinema

This opened in 1996 and is located at the promenade end of Central Drive (opposite the Morecambe Superbowl).
