Find out all the shows coming to the Floral Pavilion this Summer

When you’re in New Brighton, the Floral Pavilion’s always a great place to visit – in fact it’s one of the best reasons to go there in the first place!

A bite to eat and a trip to the Floral Pavilion is a great way to spend a summer day and you can always rely on the Flora Café for a lunchtime cuppa and a gorgeous range of sandwiches, pastries, and light bites (it’s open every day from 9.30am to 4pm).

If it’s a bit more of an occasion, you can’t beat The Floral’s Panoramic Lounge for a delicious afternoon tea with sandwiches, cakes and home-made scones (and a glass of Prosecco if you really want to make it fizz!) or, if it’s later on or you’re heading to a show, The Panoramic’s perfect for a pre-theatre dinner with a fabulous set menu from just £22.95.

Of course, its shows and events are the real stars of the Floral Pavilion – and the curtain’s going up on some belters over the next few months …
