Immersive displays, interactive exhibits & fun for all the family!

We're Blackpool's all-singing, all-dancing museum, proudly located just off the prom – next door to Coral Island!

Winner of Exhibition of the Year 2025 and shortlisted for the Children in Museums award & Kids in Museums award, Showtown celebrates the people and performances that made Blackpool the home of show business.

Our six galleries bring to life the best of the seaside, magic, circus, Illuminations, shows, and dance.

Discover the stories of the comedians, dancers, acrobats and characters who turned our resort into the home of show business.
