Why a Pride Pass Makes Sense
Blackpool Pride turns the town into a weekend destination, and a lot of visitors travel in for the whole thing rather than a single night. A flat per-visit entry fee adds up fast when you want to drop in across two or three days.
A multi-day pass pinned to the Pride weekend solves that. You pay once and come back across consecutive days, which suits the way people actually use a sauna during a busy festival weekend.
Gay saunas have always been more than somewhere to pay an entry fee. During Pride especially, they’re a place to land, warm up and meet people away from the crowds — and pricing that recognises that is worth flagging.
What the Pride Pass Costs
Acqua Sauna, Blackpool has added a Pride Pass to its multi-day passes for Blackpool Pride weekend only. Members pay £25 and non-members pay £30, and the pass covers consecutive days across the weekend.
For context, the venue’s standard non-member entry is £15 a visit, so the Pride Pass starts paying for itself across two or more visits. Membership at Acqua is optional — £5 for six months or £8 for twelve — and unlocks the member rate on the pass along with reduced day-to-day entry.
Friday and Saturday run late, with the venue open until 6am, so the pass is genuinely aimed at people making a full weekend of Pride rather than a single visit.
A Customer-Friendly Move
This is a clear win for visitors. A weekend-specific pass at a Pride-season rate is the kind of pricing that rewards regulars and travellers alike, and it’s good to see a venue leaning into the occasion rather than just trading on the extra footfall.
The Bottom Line
If you’re heading to Blackpool Pride and planning more than one visit, the Pride Pass is the cheaper way in. It’s a limited, weekend-only offer, so it won’t be on the listing year-round.
