Cliffs Classic 2026: Bowling, Seaside and Summer Fun in Blackpool

Esselle's Aaron Pearson with Brian Duncan at the Cliffs Classic 2025

Bookings are opening on Monday 29 September for the Cliffs Classic Bowling Festival 2026, taking place from Sunday 7 to Thursday 11 June on Blackpool’s famous seafront.

Following the success of previous festivals, Esselle Bowling is once again teaming up with crown green legend Brian Duncan to deliver a week of top-quality bowling, entertainment, and seaside enjoyment. Whether you’re a seasoned player or completely new to the greens, the Cliffs Classic offers something for everyone.

Bowling and Prizes

Expect lively tournaments across the week, with great competition and plenty of prizes for our winners. Brian Duncan — one of the most respected names in the sport — will also be on hand to share his expertise and passion for the game.

Seaside Stay at the Cliffs Hotel

Guests will enjoy a five-night stay at the welcoming Cliffs Hotel, perfectly positioned on the Blackpool promenade. Rooms are comfortable and spacious, many with sea views, and packages include half-board dining — hearty breakfasts and delicious evening meals to fuel your days on the green and your nights in good company.

Something for Everyone

Not bowling? No problem! Companions and supporters can still enjoy the festival with a £30 non-bowler discount. With lively evening entertainment, coastal walks, and plenty of opportunities to relax, the Cliffs Classic is every bit as enjoyable off the green as it is on it.

Book Early — Places Fill Fast

Prices range from £329pp to £405pp, with just a £50 deposit needed to secure your place. As with all Esselle events, demand is high, and spaces are limited — so early booking is strongly advised.

Join us for five unforgettable days of bowls, seaside atmosphere, and great company this summer.
