Pleasure Beach Resort is bringing a live Eurovision fan zone to Blackpool where UK’s entrant, Olly Alexander, spent his childhood years.
Living behind the Pleasure Beach and visiting most days, the now actor, singer and activist is representing the country in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest. Euro-enthusiasts and music lovers alike can cheer on Olly in the very place it all began.
CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort, Amanda Thompson OBE said: “We’ve watched Olly grow up here, and we are so proud and excited to see him represent our country in one of the biggest events in the music and television calendar.
“After an incredible UK Eurovision last year, we can’t wait to bring the hype back home, and show Olly some love from where it all began. Guests can cheer on their favourite country as we light up our Paradise Room with singing, sequins and outrageous entertainment.”
Shown live from Sweden on the big screens, the event kicks off at 7pm on Saturday May 11.
Amanda added: “Blackpool is a hub of live entertainment, and we are proudly home to some of the best talents in the country. In true Pleasure Beach style, we will be cheering on Olly and showing our support from our corner of the North West, and we would love for fans from near and far to join us. Good Luck Olly!”
