For generations, the glass-domed Marine Hall in Fleetwood has been the focal point for an array of entertainment and events.

With its prime position opposite the beach, the 1930s art deco style venue has seen royal visitors, concerts and was the place where Fleetwood’s own Alfie Boe sang in his early days with a local choir.
