Join Showtown as speaker, Barry McCann looks back at Blackpool's notable shipwrecks over the last 300 years and how Blackpool and surrounding coastal towns quite often benefited from them.
There will also be the opportunity to see an old telescope from the Golden Mile on display in the Showtown Activity Hub.
Everyone welcome, just come along, no need to book.
