Me and my partner visited the sands venue to celebrate our anniversary, and dined in the sea view restaurant. We were welcomed as soon as we walked through the doors, and looked after by the excellent hostess from start to finish. The food was of very high standard, and view from the window breathtaking. We then watched the show from... More

Some excellent shows up and coming; some with 3 course dinner; tea dances also planned. But: You don't need to catch a show or visit the booking office as they have an excellent bar / restaurant open all day. Good coffee; not much choice on the beers/lagers perhaps and the usual suspects for cake selection but a good place to... More

I really love The Sands Venue, it has such great potential to be a landmark gem in Blackpool. I have been a number of times and have always been so impressed by the style of the place, however, I think there are a couple of things which should be addressed. The food is very plain and average, I know it... More

The mrs and I went to see a 70's glam rock/disco tribute at the sands over Easter, whilst staying for the weekend. The place is top notch as a venue. Modern, well equipped and well staffed. The accompanying 3 course meal was very good as was the group, who were 4 talented guys. Will definitely go again during the coming... More

Wonderful food, Sea View, lovely staff & entertainment from the balcony afterwards. My Husband & I had a wonderful night on Saturday, just the two of us, & everything was perfect. It was the best Sirloin Steak I have ever had in my life and that's saying something. More
