Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Blackpool Pleasure Beach has launched a return of behind the scenes tours not seen for several years.

The Lancashire amusement park will host two events on 12, 14 and 19 March this year.

The £35 tickets for the first two dates sold shortly after Tuesday’s announcement.

An additional date of 19 March was later added, which had also sold out by Wednesday.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach, last year re-branded to Pleasure Beach Resort, begins its main season on 1 March this year.

Although limited ‘behind the scenes” tours have taken place to specific rides in recent years, the last large-scale tours of multiple areas last featured several years prior.

Pleasure Beach chief executive Amanda Thompson said: “We’re offering guests the exciting opportunity to see our park like never before.

“We’re pulling back the curtains and taking down the wall so that you can have a sneak peek into life here at Pleasure Beach, and see behind the scenes of some of your favourite rides and attractions.”
