Blackpool Tower
You simply can't come to Blackpool and not go to the tower. It's great value for money, open all year and has absolutely loads of entertainment going on in it. The tower top ride brings you an unrivalled view of Blackpool and then there is the walk of death. Just a piece of glass between you and a 5 second desent into Boots the chemists "make up" department. Not for us but as you can see from the picture there are some crazy people in this country.
The tower circus which is normally shows twice a day is now recognised as one of the most polished circus acts in the world and with good reason. The tower owners have spent fortunes on it. Meet Mooky, the tumblers, tight rope walkers and so many more quality circus acts.
Here is the latest quote from the Circus Website...seems they are celebrating!
"Blackpool Tower Circus stages its most spectacular show ever as a celebration of its 115th birthday as an international cast of magical acts joining Tower favourites Mooky and Bubu.
The first half sees Mooky dreaming of joining the circus as he welcomes a dazzling parade of artistes into the arena. The performances are a fitting tribute to all that has made the Tower circus a must-see show for generations. After the interval we leap forward to look at how the circus has evolved to the present day and even beyond. Fast and furious, combining the elements of circus performance with BMX bikers, skate boarders and break-dancing in this part of the show we even have a glimpse into the future! You'll be amazed as daring performers circle the ring in a space rocket and aliens invade Blackpool Tower. Even the traditional water finale has a new twist. And of course the Circus is only one part of the best value day out in the North West."
