My 3 best things to do this week on the Fylde Coast including Rock the Gardens Festival

Blackpool

First, Rock the Gardens returns to Blackpool’s Winter Gardens between Saturday, January 23 and Saturday, January 24.

Presented by Killing Time Events LTD, the Rock The Gardens Festival sees Europe’s finest rock and metal tributes head to Blackpool for a two day event hosted by DJ Leggy.

Adult weekend tickets are £38.62, Friday tickets £22.38 and Saturday tickets are £27.80, whilst child prices are available too.

Wyre

Second, in Wyre, Strictly Come Dancing star Giovanni Pernice is hosting a dance workshop at The Crown Ballroom in Fleetwood on Friday, January 23 called ‘Ballando on Tour’.

Running between 6pm and 9:15 pm, two classes are available, the first being a level 1 class and the second a level 2.

Tickets are £62 inclusive of the booking fee for each class, whilst you can purchase tickets for the two classes for £123.10 including booking fee.

Fylde

Finally in Fylde the iconic Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel performs at the Lowther Pavilion on Tuesday, January 2026.

As part of the Living in The Light Tour, audiences can expect to see Tommy play all the parts of a full band simultaneously, his fingers dancing around the fretboard with a dexterity and speed that would seem impossible if you weren’t witnessing it.

Unfortunately the event has now sold out though.
