ABBA Bottomless Brunch – Including Drinks, Food & Show!

ABBA in Blackpool is a sure-fire mood changer. This 3-hour brunch show at Viva Blackpool pairs nonstop live ABBA hits with a sharing platter and bottomless prosecco, so you get both the party music and the meal in one sitting. I like the focus on real performance energy, plus the sing-along song list that takes you from Dancing Queen to Mamma Mia and everything between.

My favorite part is the way the venue keeps things moving with table service and a smooth rhythm from food to the show. The costumes and vocal performances also get serious points, because it feels like an evening show, just scheduled earlier. One thing to consider: bottomless prosecco may not start at the exact moment your food arrives, so if you want a drink during the meal, you might need to order at the bar first.

Key Highlights You Should Know

• Live ABBA vocals all the way through so you can keep your energy up from start to finish
• Bottomless prosecco included with the brunch to keep the celebration flowing
• Sharing platter + table service that helps avoid long waits once you sit down
• Dress up encouraged, which makes this feel more like an occasion than a plain brunch
• Good seating and smooth service timing (including staff checking in about when you want your food)

What You Are Paying For: Live ABBA Hits Plus Bottomless Brunch Energy

This is not a quiet, sit-and-eat brunch. You are buying a 3-hour show experience built around nonstop ABBA music, with the food and drinks designed to support the fun. You get admission to the show, a sharing platter, and bottomless prosecco, which is where a lot of the value comes from if you plan to make it a proper outing.

At $55.30 per person, the math only works if you actually use the drinks. If you love prosecco, go slow but commit to the included portion. If you are not much of a drinker, you may still enjoy the live show and food, but you will feel less “win” from the pricing.

I also like that the experience is straightforward. There is one main event, one main venue, and a clear expectation that you are there to sing along, not just watch from the sidelines.

Meeting at Viva Blackpool and Getting Settled Before the Music

You meet at Viva Blackpool – The Show & Party Venue, Viva Building, 3 Church St, Blackpool FY1 1HJ. The start time is 2:00 pm, and the whole thing runs about 3 hours.

Arrival timing matters more than you might think. One helpful detail from past timing notes: doors can be open earlier, with food served at 2:00 pm, and bottomless prosecco starting at 2:30 pm. If that schedule matches what you see on the day, it means there is a short window where you might want a drink but the included bottomless has not started yet.

So my practical tip is simple: arrive a little early, get your bearings fast, and be ready to sit down before the meal begins. Also, because this is “dress up encouraged,” you may see people in outfits that lean sparkly, fun, and very ABBA-coded. If you show up casually, you will still fit in, but you’ll probably have more fun if you lean into the theme.

The Brunch Part: Sharing Platter, Table Service, and Drink Timing

The food setup is built around sharing. You will get a sharing platter, and service is handled at the table rather than with a chaotic buffet stampede. One key detail to love here: table service is reported as good, with staff checking in promptly about when you would like your food, and it is also mentioned that food is pre ordered.

That matters because it reduces the typical brunch friction. You are not hunting for staff, you are not constantly queueing, and you can stay focused on the show energy.

Now for the one possible frustration to plan around: the included drink start time. If bottomless prosecco does not begin until around 2:30 pm, you might want to budget a few extra pounds if you want something to sip with your food. The upside is that once bottomless does start, you are not stuck “running to the bar” in the middle of the performance.

Bottomline: if you want the full “cray party” vibe people talk about, treat it like a show first, meal second, then drink with intention once bottomless starts.

Show Time at Viva: Nonstop ABBA Hits, Costumes, and Sing-Along Atmosphere

This experience is built for people who want ABBA music delivered live with energy. Expect non-stop ABBA hits performed by vocalists, with a set that includes recognizable favorites like Dancing Queen and Mamma Mia. The goal is simple: keep you grooving the whole time so you can sing along without long gaps.

The performance is also described as including lovely costumes and dancers, which is exactly what makes this work as more than karaoke. Costumes plus movement help you feel like you’re part of an ABBA event, even if you are sitting at a brunch table.

I also love how the format turns the usual “meal event” into a proper performance. You are not watching something quietly while you eat. You’re eating in the same space where the show energy is happening, which makes the whole afternoon feel like one continuous party.

If you are the type who thinks you might not know every song, don’t worry. The set is built around the big ABBA hits most people recognize. And even if you do not sing every lyric, you can still clap, dance, and enjoy the vocals.

Who This Fits Best in Blackpool (and Who Might Feel Mismatched)

This is ideal for celebrations. A “girls celebration” vibe is specifically called out, and honestly, that makes sense. Bottomless drinks, a nonstop show, and a dress-up encouragement all point to a group-friendly plan where you can make photos, sing loudly, and not worry about being too formal.

It also works well if you want a fun solo plan. You can go with confidence that the show will keep you entertained even if you’re traveling alone, and because it’s ticketed entertainment, you are not relying on the weather or street-level plans.

Where it might feel mismatched is if you want a calm brunch with conversation. The point here is the live show and the energy that comes with it. If you are looking for a quiet meal, this is probably going to feel too lively, especially once the music ramps up.

Price and Value Check: Is $55.30 Worth It?

Let’s break down the value the way you should when you are choosing entertainment like this.

You are paying for three things:

1. Admission to the live ABBA show
2. A sharing platter meal
3. Bottomless prosecco for included time

If you drink a reasonable amount and enjoy prosecco, the included drinks can easily shift this from “just a show” to “a real deal for your afternoon.” If you barely drink, the price can still be fair because you are paying for live performers, costumes, and dancing, but it stops being a bargain and becomes more like standard show pricing plus food.

One extra value hint: because people mention table service and quick setup, you likely spend less time waiting around. That helps you squeeze the most enjoyment out of a short 3-hour block.

Practical drink tip: if you are sensitive to alcohol, sip slowly, and alternate with water if that is available. Bottomless is fun, but you want to stay steady enough to enjoy the dancing and the singing without feeling wiped out halfway through.

Final Call: Should You Book This ABBA Bottomless Brunch?

I think you should book ABBA Bottomless Brunch at Viva Blackpool if you want a ready-made afternoon party. It is a great choice when you want live music, a themed atmosphere, and a meal that does not derail the show.

Skip it if you are chasing a quiet brunch experience, or if you are very picky about strict timing. The drink schedule can be a little tricky around meal time, since bottomless may start after food. If that detail matters to you, plan to either arrive early or be okay ordering a separate drink until the included bottomless kicks in.

If you like ABBA, costumes, and singing along with other people who came for the same fun, this is the kind of ticket that turns a normal weekend into a memory. And in Blackpool, that kind of “show first, brunch second” plan is exactly the point.
