The Star Trek Exhibition on Blackpool Promenade has introduced a plethora of new space-themed props following its reopening under new management.

German businessman Martin Netter, who owns the largest collection of Star Trek merchandise in the world, took over the attraction after previous owners, Kuma Exhibitions, closed down in November.
