Mission Museum

Blackpool Comedy Festival event

Showtown presents a humorous adventure around Blackpool town centre for the whole family!

A couple of precious artefacts disappeared from the museum during a magic trick that went wrong... can you help us find them? Dust off the clues with your tickling sticks, zigzag through Blackpool in a clown car and outwit a puppet to bring them back to Showtown.

Learn about history with a laugh along the way!

Recommended for ages 6+.
