This is the description of our pop up taken from Treasure Trove blog::
‘Only in Blackpool’ by Blackpool
Embroiderers’ Guild and Costumologists
Only in Blackpool explores the Blackpool Tower and it’s
entertainment heritage from 1950 onwards. The museum’s main structure is the
Tower itself, surrounded by a variety of visuals symbolising it’s history. This
includes the roof top garden, the circus and the more controversial history
including an escapologist who married his partner suspended 400 ft off the
Tower in 1985. The pop up museum captures embroidery and textiles with it’s
beautiful sewn panels depicting the circus created by Costumologists and it’s
beautifully embroidered flags, made by the members of the Embroiderers’ Guild.
The pop up museum interprets the entertainment heritage unique to Blackpool
Tower and unique to Blackpool, aptly titled ‘Only in Blackpool’.
