A POSTCARD FROM...<br />
For a magical blend of architecture,<br />
horticulture and recreation head to Stanley<br />
Park. Boasting one of England’s finest<br />
examples of Art Deco design, the Art Deco<br />
Cafe offers striking interior and exterior views<br />
of the park. Italian gardens, water fountains,<br />
rose gardens and a Remembrance Garden<br />
plus a model village, children’s shuttle train,<br />
extensive boating lakes and ornamental<br />
bridges, a bandstand and sporting facilities<br />
fill this 390 acre park.<br />
Step back in time with a stroll along the<br />
North Pier, Blackpool’s oldest and the most<br />
beautiful of its three piers, having retained much<br />
of the original Victorian architecture. A wide<br />
deck welcomes walkers to the pier end, where<br />
an enchanting carousel, sun lounge and tea<br />
room provide more than a touch of nostalgia.<br />
For family fun the Central Pier ticks all the<br />
boxes with funfair rides, stalls, an arcade and<br />
food outlets or head to the South Pier for an<br />
adrenaline fix aboard the Skycoaster!<br />
For an art attack discover<br />
the ambitious and varied<br />
year round programme at<br />
The Grundy Art Gallery,<br />

context and heritage of<br />
Blackpool.<br />

entertainment and popular<br />
culture, as well as exhibiting<br />
celebrated artists such as<br />
David Hockney, The Grundy<br />

both nationally and<br />
