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!
