About Layton Institute
The Layton Institute is a members' social club and entertainment venue in the Layton area of Blackpool (FY3 7HG), established in 1912 and billed as one of the town's premier live-music venues. Its upstairs 300-capacity Concert Hall has a proper stage, dressing rooms and modern lighting, sound and visual rigs, hosting regular concerts and shows spanning rock, tribute acts and live theatre, plus open-mic nights. Two function rooms are available for hire. With an in-house PA and stage, it's a well-equipped grassroots concert space rather than a simple pub back room.
