We went straight into the Tower Dungeons, getting lost in the mirror maze and were entertained in a number of spooky rooms. Mark and Andrew did especially well as they helped two of the ghoulish characters perform their acts. After dinner we spent the evening in the Bar & Grill watching the evening’s entertainment and dancing until closing.
We all loved meeting the celebrities at Madame Tussaud’s! We all got a chance to stop in at the Queen Vic, meet our football heroes and even join the Fab Four. A real highlight of the holiday was watching the Circus at the Blackpool Tower. The show lasted over 2 hours but the time seemed to pass very quickly as there were many fabulous acts. The high-wire act and trapeze artists were of a very high standard but everyone’s favourite was ‘Mooky’ the clown.
We made the most of our beautiful surroundings, as some explored the resort while others went for a swim in the resort pool. We were all looking forward to visiting the world-famous Blackpool Tower Ballroom. It was great to dance along to the Wurlitzer organ in such grand surroundings.
One evening we drove to Preston to go ten-pin bowling. Everyone did well and enjoyed the evening our star bowler being Mark who with his last ball reached a score of 100! A special moment was visiting the Equestrian Centre where we were given a tour to see all the horses (there are 25 altogether stabled at the centre). Everyone enjoyed stroking the horses.
Wanting to see more animals we went to the Sea Life centre, where we got to see lots of marine life. On our last evening we drove to Wrea Green to have dinner at ‘The Grapes’, an old country pub situated on the edge of the village green. Despite not having the best weather this week, we all had a great time. Our last evening was topped off as with most evenings, dancing ‘til midnight!
