Blackpool Royal British Legion Club is nestled between the restaurants of King Street right in the heart of Blackpool.
This hidden gem of a social club is Blackpool RBL
Handily placed close to the Winter Gardens, near to Blackpool North Train Station and surrounded by car parks, this friendly little club should be on every visitors list.
Everyone is welcome, RBL, CIU and weekly membership is available, and there is no admittance charge to the concert room. In the season there is music every evening and every lunchtime. Our resident organist Terry Webster entertains from Thursday to Tuesday and on Wednesdays it's our Karaoke night or a guest organist.
At last - the Deeds !

Jack is the only serving member of the Committee who was involved in
the purchase, planning and original loan from the Brewery 30 years ago.
A celebration was held in the Club to commemorate this landmark.
The Legion Club moved to the present location in King Street in 1982, and has firmly established itself amongst Blackpool's vibrant Club scene.
The club has had a makeover, which our regular guests will spot, which makes the surroundings even more comfortable to relax and enjoy the entertainment.
Blackpool Legion
is popular with Coach Parties as well as individuals.
What the Press think of our Club......
"..there are acts on every day in the summer and between and Thursdays and Sundays in winter. It means that older folk have somewhere to go for entertainment and company where they know they will get a friendly welcome and can relax in safe surroundings. So while there is no doubt the Club deserves its accolades for its amazing fund raising efforts, it's daily contribution to the lives of many people should not be overlooked. The Club's role as a place where friendships are forged and renewed, and a place where those in need of welfare assistance can go to seek help is vital to the towns social fabric."
