Step into the light this October as Lightbox transforms Edward Street into a mesmerising stage of shadow, movement and magic.
Crafted by local families, schools, and community groups in a series of hands-on workshops led by Artist Janine Walker, these magical shadow stories will be projected larger-than-life into the windows of 4 Edward Street as part of the spectacular Lightpool Festival.
Expect sea lions, strongmen, elephants, and acrobats – all inspired by Blackpool’s vibrant history of circus, carnival and spectacle.
Lightbox will bring silhouettes, stories and heritage together in an exploration of light, motion and imagination.
Public workshops held at:
Palatine Library
Abingdon Street Market
Revoelution Community Hub
Central Family Hub
Plus special sessions with:
KinCraig Primary School
Park Community Academy
Claremont First Step Community Centre
The Magic Club
The Old Electric
