Tickets go on sale in autumn
The £13m attraction was granted planning permission in 2018, but setbacks have been caused by the Covid pandemic and hold-ups in the construction of the Sands Hotel on Central Promenade where it will be based.
The museum, which will celebrate Blackpool’s entertainment history, will be housed on the first floor of the Sands Hotel although the hotel has yet to open. “The establishment of our charity, the Blackpool Heritage and Museum Trust, also known as Showtown, is an important step and provides a great platform from which we will be able to share the full breadth of Blackpool’s rich heritage with residents and visitors alike.”
Funding for Showtown includes £4.4m from the Heritage Lottery Fund, £1.75m from the Coastal Communities Fund, £4m from the Northern Cultural Fund, £1.5m from the Lancashire Economic Partnership Growth Deal and £1m from Blackpool Council.
