Ornately decorated dance hall and theater is known for its Mighty Wurlitzer organ, which is played for dancing, concerts and special events during certain times of the year.
The Blackpool Tower Ballroom remains one of the great jewels in Blackpool's crown. The moment you walk through those doors, you are transported back to what seems like a bygone age of grace and civility, in surroundings of slightly faded (part of its charm) beauty and glamour. There is a licenced bar and it is also a fantastic place to enjoy a cup of tea and a slice of delicious cake, whilst listening to the classic tunes played superbly on the magnificent Wurlitzer organ and watching the dancers 'take to the floor'. The Blackpool Tower Ballroom is just a lovely, majestic place to while away a couple of hours and to escape from the hurly-burly of everyday life.

I spent ages here every day reading the jokes from the famous comedians who had played here and reading the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of names of all the famous entertainers over all the decades who are listed in alphabetical order. It is so nice to be reminded of such a huge array of talent and names that you had forgotten about. It is so nicely presented as there is no wear and tear and while you are reading the carpet you are also getting fresh sea air and sunlight and working up an appetite. Compared to a lot of the tat on offer here it is a lovely piece of nostalgia for the good old days and a fitting memorial to all the great artists and comedians and it costs nothing to visit, reminds you that some entertainers and actors had genuine talent and doesn't clog your arteries! If I visit Blackpool again this is what I look forward to the most. They've put a wind break screen across the seafront in front of the carpet which is a real shame as it blocks the sea view but maybe it is just a winter thing. People cycle over the carpet on their way to other places, it's a real working permanent memorial and something to cherish compared to all the terrible unmaintained sad decay all around you in fading Blackpool.
