Celebrating its 100th year, Stanley Park was named in the top five best urban green spaces in the country 👏
Covering 260 acres, the park is known for its beautiful Italian gardens, boating lake and clock tower - and it was just recently awarded the prestigious Green Flag Award along with eight other parks in Blackpool!
We’re so lucky to have this lovely open space on our doorstep.
This is what the next few months look like in Blackpool.
We’re lucky to stage some extraordinary world-class events - and the best thing is, all of them are free!
Mark these dates in your diary – one of them is only a few weeks away.
