The original Professor Peabody’s sign! 😲

During on-going restoration works at the Winter Gardens, the team uncovered the original signage for Professor Peabody's Playplace hidden beneath.

The signs were carefully removed and are now safely preserved inside the venue. Who remembers this iconic play centre?

Blackpool has been named the second best place in the UK to visit for a winter break!

The study put Blackpool just behind Edinburgh, but ahead of places like Liverpool, Manchester and York.

Blackpool's Christmas By The Sea is running daily, barring Christmas Day, until 5 January. The Illuminations are shining too!
