How to get a free glass of fizz on graduation day at Abingdon Street Market
Abingdon Street Market is helping Blackpool College graduates celebrate their big day in style.
Blackpool College students graduating this summer will have an extra reason to raise a glass thanks to a special giveaway at Abingdon Street Market.
The popular town centre venue is marking Graduation Day by offering 100 free glasses of prosecco to graduates on Thursday, July 9.
The giveaway will take place between 12pm and 3pm, allowing students attending both the midday and afternoon graduation ceremonies at the Winter Gardens to continue their celebrations with family and friends.
Abingdon Street Market, which opens from 10am, is encouraging members of the Class of 2026 to head over after collecting their awards and enjoying the formal proceedings.
In a social media post announcing the event, the market said: “Congratulations, Class of 2026! To help celebrate Blackpool College Graduation Day at the Winter Gardens, we’re giving away 100 glasses of prosecco on Thursday 9th July.
