From Tue 10th March 2026 to Tue 30th June 2026


The Empire Social Club is a warm, welcoming get-together at Blackburn Empire Theatre, created to bring people together through Community • Friendship • Fun.

Running every two weeks, it’s open to anyone who fancies a relaxed couple of hours out – whether you’re coming along with friends or popping in on your own to meet new people.
Expect a friendly atmosphere with a mix of light activities and social time – from games like Scrabble, dominoes, cards and sudoku, to themed “fun sessions” such as crafts, art and other easy-going activities. Or simply enjoy a good chat over a brew.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are available, with a suggested £2 donation to support future social and volunteer activities.

Free to attend – no need to book – just turn up.

Location: Berry Room
Entrance: via the Box Office door at the back of the theatre

    Following the success of their VE Day 80 Tour and triumphant performances at the iconic Royal Albert Hall, Britain’s beloved songbirds, The D-Day Darlings, proudly present their brand-new stage spectacular – Victorious, fronted by founder and lead singer Katie Ashby.
