The grade two-listed Old Floral Pavilion, in Royal Princes Parade, is owned by Harrison Leisure Ltd, the Bridlington-based hospitality group, which secured the future of the building when it purchased the freehold from East Riding Council in 2021 as part of a multi-million pound acquisition and refurbishment investment programme. So far this autumn and winter season, shows include the world famous Tony Skingle Elvis tribute act, on December 8, and Bingo That's Bonkers with Keith LemonXXL. East Riding leisure centres take the lead with dog-friendly cafés.Five East Riding swimming pools get almost £500,000 lifeline amid rising running costs.We have only just put in the new staging equipment so we are only gradually booking in and publicising shows for locals and visitors alike.' “It is not about competing with The Spa, which can attract and house marquee names, but allowing The Old Floral Pavilion to do what it was built to do - host popular shows and entertainers.

Michael Harrison, founder and owner, said: 'This is a unique, prominent building right on the Bridlington seafront which we want to develop for bigger shows and more well-known performers. The high-quality lighting rig, stage lights and sound system are part of ambitious plans to bring in bigger name performers and larger popular entertainments. A £50,000 investment in a new stage, sound and light system will kick-start the autumn and winter season of events at The Old Floral Pavilion in Bridlington.
