At the grotto, visitors will be greeted by Mrs Claus and guided through Blackpool Pleasure Beach’s very own North Pole, before meeting the star of the show – Father Christmas. The elves will ensure all children have a present to put under the tree this winter season.

To make the experience even more magical, Blackpool Pleasure Beach is offering little ones the chance to choose their favourite bear at the Create Your Own Bear Workshop.

The Gatsby Dinner Show promises glitz, glamour and fun for all the family, featuring a cast of incredibly talented performers, all delivered in a Covid-secure way.

Diners will be served a seasonal three-course meal, with the final dish a spectacular pudding, set alight to add even more sparkle to the evening.
