What a truly entertaining evening after arriving on Birley St thinking we had got the wrong night we followed the drummers all around the town the children were enthralled from start to finish lovely family event!! We need more of this!!!!

We loved Depart, the whole evening was magical and an adventure. The finale had us all gasping. That's what it must feel like if you live in the South East. Let's have more of this in Blackpool. Xx Susanne

Super Dooper weekend, excellent acts, great organisation & a fab time had by all! Roll on 2016!

Really, What's not to like!

Loved it I had so much fun watching the drums thanks

Fantastic performance - such talent. My grandson and I really enjoyed it. Well done all concerned x

Depart was absolutely amazing. Fantastic to see a show like this in Blackpool especially in the magnificent Stanley Park. Made me look at Stanley Park in a new light and combined a really haunting and enchanting atmosphere with some great performances. You just couldn't help but be drawn in by the choirs.

Another inspiring evening, thank you leftcoast #astheworldtipped

Absolutely loved As The World Tipped. Thought provoking, moving and visually spectacular. More please.

Absolutely incredible production tonight So physical and energetic and thought provoking The audience was in awe and mesmerised by what they saw and experienced Brilliant Thanks for bringing this to Blackpool xx

Excellent show and turnout tonight, the creativity and the tireless work and collaboration of the performers we could see and those we couldn't. Performance art with a message and a difference. Long may the world continue to tip towards the left coast.
