Discover The Old Electric, a family Arts Award adventure as part of the Heritage Open Days, coordinated by Showtown Blackpool and Blackpool Heritage Service.
Discover The Old Electric, encouraging you through a self-guided tour to explore the rich history of the building as a place for cultural entertainment.
It will be an opportunity to discover the people involved past and present and a chance to celebrate 100 years of this creative building and space.
The tours are suitable for both the big kids and the little kids, with the younger ones having the chance to work towards an Arts Award Discover through completing our Discover The Old Electric map and guide.
There is a chance to make and create, research artists, share your discoveries and use your phones to find out more. The tours take 30- 60 minutes. Ages 5-8 can complete Arts Award Discover and it is optional to have a certificate for completion for £4.00. Time slots are available to book on our website.
