New Brighton's Floral Pavilion unveils spring event lineup

The spring event lineup at the Floral Pavilion has landed, bringing another standout season of premium theatre, comedy, live music, dance, and family favourites.

Among the many incredible shows coming up soon is Murder at Midnight, an hilarious murder mystery like no other, starring national favourites Jason Durr and Susie Blake, while Micheál Mac Liammóir’s renowned play The Importance of Being Oscar comes to the Floral’s stage following huge critical acclaim and a hit London run.

A standout addition for 2026 is Tales from Paradise Heights – a bold, genre-defying series of six interconnected plays hailed as “Stephen King meets Jimmy McGovern”.

Each story is bound by a shared character, location or event, creating a gripping world that unfolds piece by piece across the season. For drama fans, this extraordinary series is guaranteed to be a feast, and special multi-show discounts make it even more tempting to immerse yourself in the entire journey.

Alongside the thrilling storytelling experience, the brochure is packed with headline moments. Audiences can look forward to the iconic Buddy Holly Story in March, and two much-loved classics returning to the stage: Sherlock Holmes – The Hunt for Moriarty and the timeless romance of Romeo and Juliet.

With Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day approaching, the season also offers a dazzling array of gift ideas — from the passion and drama of Carmen and the star appeal of Jason Donovan to the electrifying spectacle of Mythos: Ragnarok.

Venue Manager Pauline Campbell said:

“The Floral Pavilion has been woven into the heart of Wirral life for more than a century, and this new season celebrates everything we love about live shows — bold ambition, breathtaking talent and experiences that bring our community together. Every ticket purchased helps us keep that spirit alive and bring more exciting productions to New Brighton. We can’t wait to welcome you back, time and time again, throughout 2026.”

Many household names are bringing their shows to the Floral, with Ben Fogle, Strictly Come Dancing’s Craig Revel Horwood, Fun Lovin’ Criminal Huey Morgan, Everton legend Duncan Ferguson, and 80s pop icon Paul Young all lined up this spring.

For younger audiences – and big kids too – the UK’s favourite science team are back and The Ministry of Science is more explosive than ever, while The Dinosaur That Pooped, based on the best-selling books by Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter, will make sure the whole family will have a poopy good time.
