The Easter holidays not only mark the start of two weeks off school for many children in England and Wales, but is the beginning of Blackpool's busy period - which extends all the way until the Illuminations go off in November. Alongside all the old favourites, there's plenty of new introductions to the scene this April.

Blackpool Zoo

The UK's largest elephant house and a brand new enclosure is due to open by Easter, housing a new herd of Asian elephants as well as our old favourite, Kate. Dubbed Project Elephant, the multi-million pound facility will open up an additional three acres to visitors. 

 

This is an incredibly exciting moment in Blackpool Zoo's history. It is the latest, and the largest, in a series of significant investments at the zoo, which have attracted millions of visitors in the past decade

 Expanding the original size of the attraction by over 5000 square feet, Madame Tussauds welcomes the heroes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Travel through the streets of New York meeting Spiderman and The Incredible Hulk on the way, and test your might trying to pick up Thor's hammer Mjolnir.

Blackpool Junior Dance Festival

For the 71st year in a row, the Blackpool Junior Dance Festival returns to the Winter Gardens Empress Ballroom. Spanning across the week of Monday April 2nd to Sunday the 8th, it attracts competitors from across the UK and the globe. If the success of 2017's event was anything to go by, expect  a huge turnout with some great performances. Last year's event garnered the attention of 400 couples from over 33 different countries.

Evolution of Magic

Starting on Friday the 30th, the return of Evolution of Magic kicks off the holidays. Hosted at the Pleasure Beach's Horseshoe Theatre, prepare to be amazed by the illusions of Craig Christian and Elizabeth Best. With showtimes at 6pm or 7:30pm, it's the perfect evening magic show to go to.

You can get tickets by visiting the Little Touches Ticket Office or by giving us a ring on 01253 420121.
