The winter gardens in Blackpool has changed beyond recognition between my childhood and now. In 20…read moreyears this has went from a building resembling an air raid shelter with bare stone floors and a few kids rides and fruit machines to an amazing theatre building with very up market eateries and the likes. There are now some very big shows held here and the place is astounding to look at but personally I prefered the days of cheap thrills and cheap cafes to the £3 cups of coffee and staff looking down their noses at you that you get these days.

The place is huge and with the most amazing decor and certainly is the jewel in the crown when it comes to venues in Blackpool. Once inside you will find refreshments and snacks quite expensive so best to take your own if you want to save a few pennies.

A lot of money has been raised by 'Friends of the Grand' to help it stay open and keep the facilities up to date. It shows a wide range of plays and groups, from Shakespeare to the every popular Rocky Horror Show. Usually offers a pantomime at Christmas and a summer season during the summer months. There is a large car park opposite, above BHS and discounts are offered. If you want a pre-theatre supper, there are lots of restaurants close by that are used to diners being in a hurry.

The ticket prices are reasonable when you compare them to other towns. They have a good variety of shows which change frequently, and the auditorium is spacious and comfortable. It's right in the centre of town, absolutely perfect location. I went to see a show there and there was a little bar at the side near the stage door. You could wait for the stars to come out and then the whole cast retires there to sign autographs!

Brilliant! We…read morevisited as part of an add-on experience to Blackpool Pleasure Beach's Journey To Hell Halloween event. Pasaje del Terror was the ONLY enjoyable experience throughout the whole evening. We visited Pasaje del Terror at the beginning of the evening, and due to the venues brilliant decor, tense atmosphere, and frightening actors, Blackpool Pleasure Beach had a lot to live up to. FYI, they failed in spectacular form in comparison. If you're visiting Pasaje del Terror for Halloween, or at any other time in the year, do it and skip BPB. You'll leave feeling like you've had an awesome experience.

This is the scariest two hours of your life! Well, I think it's closer to five or ten minutes in…read morereality, but it feels a lot longer when you're terrified. What it basically consists of is walking through a dark, freaky building with differently-themed rooms (graveyard, bedroom, furnace, etc) and being scared by costumed actors who jump out at you, chase you etc. They are dressed as monsters from various horror films - Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, Exorcist girl etc - and less specific ones like scary clowns and vampires. This will terrify some people, and not bother others. The last time I went in, I walked around with my eyes closed the whole time, holding my friend's hand so he could guide me around. He wasn't fazed by it at all. And my other friend was more concerned by us holding hands than by any of the monsters. I don't think I'll ever go in again, but it definitely does what it sets out to do, in my case. Oh, and the best part is, at the very end, you'll run through a door screaming after a chainsaw-wielding Leatherface jumps out at the side of you And you'll run screaming through the door into a pub where (on a busy day) there'll be a couple dozen customers sitting. It's fun to sit in the pub and see the scared folks running through the door. Makes you feel like less of a little girl for being scared yourself.
