Be a bright spark! Bring your little chimps to see the cuddliest character in town as The Grand Theatre's Matcham Monkey swings into Blackpool Illuminations Open Day on Thursday 10th July to bring his own cheeky brand of monkey business to the fun.
Blackpool Council is proud to announce the return of its famous Illuminations Open Day for 2008. This is the one day in the year when the doors are thrown open at the famous Rigby Road depot to reveal an amazing grotto of halls, corridors and storage areas and a network of workshops where the world famous Illuminations are created.
This FREE event on Thursday 10th July 2008 from 10am to 8pm is even more special this year as this is the last opportunity for visitors to visit the depot before the Illuminations Department move to new premises in 2009.
Blackpool Illuminations staff, from artists, electricians, joiners, mechanics, painters, engineers to hi-tech boffins, work all year round to produce this electrifying show. They will swap roles for the day and become tour guides for the thousands of visitors expected on the day including schoolchildren, Brownies, Guides and Scouts as well as the general public.
This magical Open Day is a prelude to the main event where the bright lights of Blackpool beckon as the greatest and glitziest free show on Earth returns for another autumn crowd-puller! More lavish than ever before, Blackpool Illuminations blaze into life on switch on night (August 29th) – shining right through until 2nd November. -- www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk
