blackpool illuminations depot
The
Illuminations Depot, situated on Blackpool's Rigby Road, is an old building,
comprising of offices, workshops and storage sheds which also has a history
of being a donkey stable prior to becoming home to the world famous
Illuminations.
Due to the nature of the work carried out there; restoring, repairing and
designing the lights and tableux, staff are often in the building late at
night and many have experienced what could be supernatural occurrences.
In 2005, spirit medium Derek Acorah visited the depot for his television
series Derek Acorah’s Ghost Towns and experienced some paranormal
activity. Now you have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of the
famous clairvoyant and investigate the building for yourself.
The current site of Blackpool's Illuminations Depot was to close in 2009 to make way for a new campus of Blackpool & Fylde College; however this has been delayed and the team at Blackpool Illuminations led by our co-host on the tours, Mr Peter Parr, have allowed us to return for ghost tours in early 2010. Don't miss out on participating in the last of the Ghost Tours at this wonderfully haunted Blackpool location. Book now!
