We went to an exhibition at the winter Gardens about three years ago ,there was Mini Illuminations and there was a Chinese theme going on with lanterns and Lotus flowers and it was absolutely beautiful,

[@visitfyldecoast]

That was Illuminasia Jenny, Chinese lantern craft, and it was lovely

[@lornaburgess9762]

Last time I visited Winter Gardens was 50 years ago I was15 and we came to see Ken Dodd, the week after we (my Mam, Dad and brother along with my Auntie & Uncle & cousin) saw Jimmy Tarbuck. 🤣🤣They have made a lovely job of restoring it to its former glory I hope to get back to Blackpool after this awful covit 19 is over.

Thanks for sharing!

[@StevesHornet900]

....I've been buying lots of old Blackpool postcards from e-bay...they're usually less than 2 or 3 pounds each - little slices of history with stamps , a datestamp , and messages from holidaymakers in 1905 to the 20's ! A few of them feature the Winter Gardens ....there's a luxurious 'Indian Lounge' ...and lots more exotic plants all over the place ! Do a search of e-bay for ''Old postcards - Blackpool's Winter Gardens'' , unless you already have some .

[@visitfyldecoast]

Funnily enough Steve, my own collection is pathetic. I have a tiny little box with a few oddments in it, which is really appalling, given what I do and how much I know! I have started collecting things and am always interested in more.

[@erykfreethinker7147]

A unique gem in the many treasures of the North West UK. Wonderfully caring restoration. My first sight of the Baronial Hall. Outstanding!

[@visitfyldecoast]

Couldn't agree more!

[@TheBorzoilover]

I really enjoyed that tour, it is a beautiful building the baronial hall is amazing, lived in Blackpool most of my life but never knew how really lovely the inside of the Winter gardens really is.

[@visitfyldecoast]

You see, every video uncovers something new!

[@missnoelle9414]

I remember when there was a huge play area with massive bouncy slides in the Winter Garden...almost as fun as Jungle Gyms.

[@dianewalton1724]

Smashing video that shows the immense size of this beautiful building. Thanks very much, a great view!

[@visitfyldecoast]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jacquiquinn997]

Wow magnificent the grandeur is amazing !

Glad you enjoyed it

[@adriansanderson5091]

I used to work there early eighties,I had an encounter with a ghost on the second floor of the opera House and no in one believed me,at night it comes alive in the dark it's very unusual atmosphere.Loved my time there it's an amazing building,it would take hours for a full tour

[@joannegallagher2792]

I remember as a child in the 70s riding on the yogi Bear ride I loved it I'm 55 now but would love to ride again

[@kennethfletcher1157]

Wow what a beautiful building I should go and look at this on the 10th of October when I am on holiday in Blackpool

[@christinepage1264]

Really enjoyed this tour Jane , when they have had open days I’ve not been fit enough to go round and always been so disappointed to miss it . You have shown us round it great , even if I’d gone I’m sure would have missed a lot . I used to work next door at a jewellers ( not there now ) and still only saw a bit of it . Must admit to spending my youth in the Olympia ! Big thank you Jane .

[@visitfyldecoast]

It’s a pleasure. When there’s a proper open day I shall revisit again!

[@asa1973100]

Absolutely spectacular

[@kjmusicalmarshall]

I've been to the Winter Gardens many times in childhood during the 1990's as a member of the George Formby Society. They have conferences there a few times a year. Not been there for years but this brings back lots of happy memories. Currently on lockdown miles away in sunny Bournemouth. We had a Winter Gardens in Bournemouth once upon a time, until they knocked it down in the early 2000's :-(

[@visitfyldecoast]

Bet they wish they hadn't now...

[@mayaali420]

I’ve only seen shows at the Winter Gardens, that was years ago. I can’t believe all the other facilities , I need to go to Specsavers lol. But another brilliant video, everything explained in detail. I really enjoyed it.

[@visitfyldecoast]

Thanks 👍

[@oranda15]

So good to see that some investment has been carried out. Have visited many times whilst the Blackpool Magic Convention has been on and it needed a bit of careful maintenance. I am so glad this has been carried out and looking forward to visiting again. Nice video.

[@visitfyldecoast]

Thanks Allan,,it will be nice when we can do normal things again

[@roypalmer6910]

Never been but it looks beautiful place

[@dorothy2030]

It's years since I was at the Winter Gardens, but what a fantastic building!

[@visitfyldecoast]

We agree!

[@johnallan4826]

Lovely place. Nice statue of Eric and Ernie

[@visitfyldecoast]

It really is! And did you know it's made by sculptor Graham Ibbeson, who hails from the same place as me? We had a lovely chat at the opening event.

Thank you so much for such a big surprise that most of your viewers and myself have been given in these winter garden gems. Are all room soon open to the public as its on my list of my next 60th birthday visit to this amazing seaside town. Keep safe and many thanks 😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@visitfyldecoast]

Our pleasure! I'm not sure that the building is open for wandering any time soon. Depends on what happens with Covid. If you use the cafe/bar/facilities you can go inside the main hall.

[@kevinteal5218]

Magnificent, I wish I had of gone inside. Thank you

Looks great never been top floor ive seen Morecambe and wise statue got pictures of it

[@visitfyldecoast]

It does!

[@simonhindle4220]

used to go here a lot as a younger man. Amazing beautiful crazy architecture like vegas before vegas but with more class in opinion. Loved going here for arcade game exhibitions and the galleon bar. Great vid long may it live, every turn is like a new world! Needs some serious art world support or exhibitions for me it's like the north west Barbican.

[@visitfyldecoast]

Couldn't agree more!

If you and your family enjoy Fleetwood Mac you must go and see the Rumours of Fleetwood Mac tribute band. They are playing this Tuesday 14th September at Opera house. The best concert I have ever seen!

All the times I've been to Blackpool I've never ever visited the Winter Gardens always thought it was a shopping centre ,or mall if you're watching this from across the pond

The cafe? What is that like can you buy beer inside the Winter Gardens.

HAPPY FRIDAY

[@nenomengo]

Twice.. in Rebellion Festival, the best and biggest punk rock festival in the world.

[@imabellaabella9699]

why winter Gardens called the “floral hell”??

[@visitfyldecoast]

Because it was an originally an indoor garden for the Victorians to enjoy promenading when the weather was poor.

[@imabellaabella9699]

Visit Fylde Coast Thank you 🙏🏻

[@AlanWinter]

So, what's the point of all these empty rooms?

[@visitfyldecoast]

They're not all empty rooms normally. They are all used for events and functions. Obviously they were built into the complex in its heyday - but even now it's a busy building when the world is a normal place.

[@AlanWinter]

In normal times do you know if it runs at a loss or does it help subsidise Council Tax?

[@visitfyldecoast]

@@AlanWinter Hi Alan, I don't know the answer to that - you'd have to ask Blackpool Council that one.

[@jacquiquinn997]

Lol why would you have been stumped if they said turn left or right? Strange comment

[@visitfyldecoast]

You've only recently joined us then Jacqui! I'm mildly dyslexic and 'similars' like left and right, north /south etc have me thinking hard!!
