Showtown are excited to share the news that our fundraising charity, Blackpool Museum Trust, have received a grant for almost £120k from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. The grant will support key senior staff roles for Showtown that are vital to the museum’s development. Without these key people, the museum would not be possible.

One of Blackpool Museum Trust’s main objectives is to develop a museum that will deliver community, cultural and economic regeneration in Blackpool. With the support of funders like Esmée Fairbairn Foundation we are one step closer to fulfilling these objectives.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank Esmée Fairbairn Foundation for all their support with the project.
