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
