Step into a world of colour, music and entertainment as we shine a light on wartime Blackpool! Even during blackout, dancefloors still came alive with joy, laughter and dancing.
Find the light in the dark at our kid’s neon party – decorate your own T-shirt with glow pens, enjoy games, and dance under shining lights.
Come dressed to glow and discover how people found joy even in dark times.

Showtown is a new immersive experience for all the family. Hundreds of exhibits and fun activities will provide hours of entertainment. Changing exhibitions will keep you coming back time and time again. We’ll have a learning space for group sessions and events. We’ll also have a museum shop – packed full of fun gifts and goodies!
Inside Showtown you’ll find our six galleries on seaside holidays, magic, circus, the Illuminations, shows and dance. You can take a look behind-the-scenes, hearing stories from producers, performers, visitors and residents.
Featuring unique items from world-renowned museums and private collectors. Over 800 objects help bring our story to life. Get up close with Sooty, Sweep and Soo. Peek through the cell door and see the infamous Houdini wrapped in chains.
We want you to get involved and have fun. Feeling brave? You’ll be able to have a go at juggling or learn some dance moves. Feeling creative? You can perform your own Punch and Judy show or design your own illumination. There’ll be something for everyone at Showtown.
