Bloomfield Road has been Blackpool’s home since the late 19th century and sits a short hop from the Pleasure Beach. The ground is mid-sized by League One standards, with ongoing East Stand work adding more premium and concourse capacity over time.

What happens here

  • Blackpool FC League One, FA Cup and EFL Cup home matches.
  • Matchday hospitality packages and executive boxes.
  • Conferences, banqueting and private hire across 17 function rooms.

Who runs hospitality and catering

Blackpool FC runs hospitality and events in-house at Bloomfield Road. The club’s hospitality sales team recruits for suites such as Club Matthews, Club 1953 and executive boxes, with specialist suppliers supporting individual events.

What’s it like to work here

Matchdays feel seaside-specific: staff and supporters often combine tram, train and car journeys, and the hospitality offer is club-led rather than outsourced to Levy or Sodexo. A good fit if you live on the Fylde coast and want regular League One shifts without commuting to Manchester.
