The Great Promenade Show

The Great Promenade Show in Blackpool is an outdoor exhibition including ten features comissioned from established and emerging artists, which stretches for two kilometres along the New South Promenade from Squires gate to the Sandcastle Waterpark. It includes features, sculptures and constructions that amaze visitors with their ingenuity, innovation and sheer scale, all of which are unique interpretations of Blackpool's natural and man-made environments. Some come to life at night while others produce mysterious sound or mesmeric movement. They are amazing, awe-inspiring and challenging.

Glam Rocks

This is a family of three giant pebbles by Peter Freeman, wich sparkle with hundreds of multi-coloured fibre optic lights that slowly change colour.

They Shoot Horses, Don't They

The biggest mirrorball in the world, the 47,000 mirror tiles create dramatic patterns of reflected light. It acknowledges Blackpool as the ballroom capital of the world.

Desire

Inspired by kiss-me-quick and holiday romances, this Chris Night sculpture shows two cut-out parts that don't quite meet. Desire casts a shadow or a broken heart on the ground.

Life as a Circus

Sir Peter Blake's sculputure has a variety of circus acts cast in bronze. It celebrates the great entertainment tradition of Blackpool.

High Tide Organ

A sculpture by Liam Curtis and John Gooding that is also a musical instrument played by the sea at high tide.

The Sound of the Wind Looks Like This

An artwork powered by the wind, which determines the colour, number and speed of six pulsating light units.

The Frankenstein Project

Frankenstein was inspired by the freak shows of Victorian Blackpool. This sculpture by Tony Stallard warns of sinister outcomes when tampering with nature.

Water Wings

This is an image of freedom by Bruce Williams. It connects the sea and the town, and it appears and disappears depending on your position.

The Swivelling Wind Shelters

These move with the wind to provide a constant source of shelter from Blackpool's bracing weather. Their single sweeping form acts both as a wind vane to turn the structure, and as a baffle to shelter promenaders.
