Viva Blackpool a hugely successful and very well established in the North West of England.
We were kindly invited to the launch of the Viva Summer Season shows and to taste some of their superb dishes..
I mentioned in the previous sentence ‘ Shows’ yes that’s all of them in one evening..!
Some task to showcase all them but they pulled it off in style, much to the satisfaction of the packed room..
I found that the lighting and new pyrotechnics being used during the show to be amazing, it really surprised me..
Viva really does cater for every taste, a true reflection on this is their recent success at the Radio Waves’ Culture, Lifestyle and Business Awards 2019 picking up two awards,
Customer Service Excellence Award and Best Nightlife Award ..!
So we start our evening with good friends and sample some mouth watering dishes..
So the preview show of which was a complete one off was designed to show all the local business in Blackpool the amazing shows being performed at Viva Blackpool.
