Carnival Magic
Location: The Blackpool Tower Ballroom - Monday 21 October
An exhilarating menagerie of illuminated Carnival will return to the Tower Ballroom on Monday 21 October for an electrifying static showcase of music, puppetry and dance. Internationally recognised Carnival performers will present a showstopper over 30 minutes, bringing a diverse melting pot of Carnival magic.
From giant hand-crafted puppets to stunning illuminated dancers, there will be something for all the family.
Tickets are required for Carnival Magic at Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Due to the large quantity of unredeemed tickets at previous events, there is a small administration fee of £2 which is donated to charity.
Booking will be at: lightpool.eventbrite.co.uk when available.
