Showtown and Heritage Blackpool present, "Stars behind the Stones" this Halloween, with friends of Layton Cemetery.
Discover and celebrate some of Blackpool's best-loved performers as the friends of Layton Cemetery amuse you with some fascinating stories about the "Stars behind the Stones".
Layton is Blackpool's Victorian Cemetery, opening in 1873 when St John's churchyard became overflowing with burials. Many familiar names rest within the iron railings including famous performers in the town's past.
Katherina Scherfenberg, was an important member of one of the famous troupes of performers made up entirely of little people.
Augusta Carolina Rosaline Wingfield, also known as Alphonsine or La Belle Rose was an incredible spiral acrobat and serpentine dancer.
King Ohmy the death-defying acrobat and founder of 'Ohmy's Circus' who now share the same billing as our modern, much missed entertainers, such as Joe Longthorne.
Join the Friends of Layton Cemetery on Sunday 31 October at 1pm.
The meeting point is by the Friends of Layton Cemetery office building, just inside the cemetery gates.
