Showtown Museum
We're Blackpool's brand new all-singing, all-dancing museum for the whole family. Celebrating Blackpool's role as the greatest seaside resort and show town in the UK.
We're not open just yet but when we are you'll be able to discover Blackpool's heritage through incredible objects, exciting stories, films and fun interactives.
Our rooms will be full of exhibits that get right to the heart of what’s wonderful about Blackpool. Circus, shows, magic, Illuminations, dance and all the joy of being beside the seaside.
Whether you're a fun-seeker or future star performer, everyone is welcome at Showtown.
We can't wait to throw open our doors in 2024.
