Nothing beats a family wrestling show. This one runs for 15 years of Megaslam in Blackpool, with an afternoon 2-hour interactive setup that’s built for kids and adults. I especially liked the reserved seating (so you’re not stuck hovering) and the chance to meet the wrestlers after the action with a photo opportunity. The only real caution is value: at about $22 per person, you’ll want to feel sure your group will use the meet-and-greet time, because extra spending for food, drinks, and souvenir photos can add up.

I also like that the day has momentum. You meet at the venue entrance on Church Street, skip the ticket line, settle into your reserved seats, and food and drink are available before and during the show. It’s wheelchair accessible and the host/greeter speaks English, so the experience is straightforward for most families.

Key things I’d plan for before you go

• 15 years of Megaslam energy: an anniversary theme that adds extra occasion to the standard wrestling format.
• Reserved seats from the start: you’re positioned for the full show instead of playing seat roulette.
• Interactive family show (2 hours): it’s designed for kids, not just a spectator sport.
• Meet-and-greet plus photo opportunity: the highlight for many families is meeting the wrestlers right after.
• Food and drink served at your seats: plan for pre- and mid-show refreshment needs.
• Watch the extras: food/drinks and souvenir photos aren’t included in the core price.

Entering the venue: Church Street check-in made simple

Your first job is finding the meeting point and getting in early enough to breathe. The meet-up is the venue entrance on Church Street, opposite Papas Restaurant. From there, you’ll check in with the host/greeter and get directed to your seats.

One small but useful detail: this experience is set up to skip the ticket line. That matters more than it sounds. With families, kids get restless fast, and saving even 10–20 minutes can keep the day from turning into a scramble. Aim to arrive with enough time to locate your entrance, sort out where to wait, and get everyone settled before the show ramps up.

The host/greeter is English-speaking, which keeps things calmer if anyone in your group is unsure about instructions. And if you’re using a wheelchair, it’s wheelchair accessible, which is a big deal in a busy venue area where navigating crowds can be stressful.

Reserved seats and the “food and fun” timing

This isn’t a sit-then-nothing-then-sit-again event. Food and drink are part of the pacing. Your seats are reserved, and food and drink are served at the venue before and during the show.

Here’s the practical angle: the core experience price doesn’t automatically include meals or drinks. The listing notes that food & drinks are available to purchase at the venue. So if you’re expecting a full meal deal, double-check what your specific booking includes (the event also mentions a pre-show dining package in the overall description, but the “food and drinks not included” note means you should plan to buy something unless your option clearly states otherwise).

What I think is smart for families:

• If your kids get cranky on schedule, treat the pre-show service as your “reset moment.”
• If you want to minimize waiting at the bar or counter, plan to eat early while staff are set up for service.
• If you’re budget-minded, set a spending cap for drinks so the show stays fun, not expensive.

Also note that food/drink service happening before and during the performance is good for energy levels. With a 2-hour interactive show, having access to refreshments without hunting around can be a quality-of-life win.

The 2-hour interactive wrestling show: built for family energy

At the heart of the experience is a 2-hour interactive wrestling show. This is the part that makes the day feel like more than just sitting in a crowd and watching adults shout at each other.

The theme is 15 years of Megaslam, which gives the event a “special occasion” feeling. That matters because wrestling shows can vary between styles and pacing, but an anniversary theme usually means extra attention to atmosphere and crowd engagement. You can expect the show to be lively, kid-friendly in tone, and paced to keep families involved rather than sidelined.

A big practical point: this is described as an afternoon show suitable for all the family. Afternoon timing is often easier for kids than late evening events. It also tends to work better if you’re combining it with other Blackpool activities the same day.

Because it’s interactive, I’d go in with the mindset that participation is part of the experience. If your group loves watching people get called to the action, you’ll likely have a blast. If your group prefers passive viewing, the good news is that you still have reserved seats, so you’re not stuck standing in the wrong place.

What could be a drawback? Wrestling shows are naturally loud, and interactive moments can get chaotic. If you’re traveling with a sensitive kid, bring ear protection if you have it, and be prepared to step out briefly if your child needs a break.

The meet-and-greet: photo time with the stars

After the 2-hour action, you get the main memory-builder: a meet and greet with the wrestlers, plus a photo opportunity.

This is where the event pays off for many families. The show itself is entertaining, but meeting the wrestlers turns it into a story you can actually retell later. For kids, that photo is often the moment they remember most. For adults, it’s a chance to connect the characters on stage with real people off stage.

To make the meet-and-greet work smoothly:

• Keep your group together after the show ends. Don’t split up for snacks or souvenirs until after photos.
• Have phone storage ready (or payment ready for any additional photo products sold on-site).
• Expect some time spent transitioning from show seating to the meet-and-greet area.

One more money note: the experience includes the photo opportunity with wrestlers, but souvenir photo ordering is available to order at the venue and is not listed as included. So if you want an extra “keepsake” photo package, plan for an additional cost.

Price and value in real life (about $22 per person)

Let’s talk value without fluff. The price is listed at $22 per person, and the included pieces are what you’d normally pay extra for:

• 2-hour interactive show
• Reserved seats
• Meet-and-greet with wrestlers
• Photo opportunity with wrestlers

So the math works best if your group is there for the whole bundle: show + reserved viewing + the post-show interaction. One UK guest, Gayle, summed it up simply with a great day, and that kind of feedback usually lines up with groups who got exactly what they came for.

Where price can feel harder is when families end up buying multiple extras. Food and drinks aren’t included (you purchase at the venue), and souvenir photo options are also sold at the venue. Transportation is not included either, so local travel or parking will be on you.

My advice: if you’re deciding between this and a cheaper event, ask yourself one question—will your kids (or you) really want the meet-and-greet and photo? If yes, the price looks reasonable for a complete, structured few hours. If not, the cost may feel steep for mostly seating and a show.

Day-out practicalities: timing, groups, and what to bring

This experience runs 3 hours total. The show itself is 2 hours, and the extra time covers check-in, settling in, the flow of food service, and the meet-and-greet/photo segment after.

Group type matters. This is best for:

• Families with kids who like energetic, participatory entertainment
• Wrestling fans who care about meeting wrestlers more than just watching
• Anyone wanting an organized afternoon activity in Blackpool

What to bring:

• Tickets/booking reference ready for check-in
• Something for kids to do during transition time (coloring/activity is fine, since you may have waiting)
• Cash/card for food and drinks and any souvenir photo upgrades sold at the venue
• If anyone in your group is sensitive to noise, consider ear protection

One more logistics note: you’ll need to handle transportation to the venue yourself. If you’re staying in central Blackpool, it may be a simple trip, but factor in travel time so you’re not rushing into a loud show.

Should you book Megaslam in Blackpool?

I’d book it if your priority is family-friendly wrestling entertainment with real access to the performers afterward. The combination of reserved seats plus the meet-and-greet and photo opportunity is the backbone of the value, especially for kids who want more than just a performance.

I’d think twice if you’re cost-sensitive and your plan is mostly to watch from the seats. At $22 per person, the event tends to feel best when your group will actually use the included photo time and won’t be surprised by add-ons like drinks and souvenir photos.

If your family loves wrestling, or you want one afternoon that feels like a proper event, this one is a strong pick. Just go in knowing that food/drinks and extras are separate, so you can budget calmly and focus on the fun.
