21st January 2010 - GMtv DANCING QUEEN RETURNS TO THE TOWER BALLROOM



As part of the GMtv ‘Dancing Queen Diet’ Camilla Dallerup will be performing her dance workouts from various glamorous locations around the UK, finishing with the international home of ballroom dancing, Blackpool. We need people, of both sexes and all ages, to come along and learn the routine Camilla will be performing, then perform it behind her live on screen during GMTV. This will be Camilla’s last live so this is your last chance to take part in the Dancing Queen Diet on television. All abilities and ages welcome. Any children must be accompanied by adults. Anyone with health problems should be aware that the routine will involve aerobic activity.


DATE: Friday 29th January 2010

TIME NEEDED: Arrive between 0615 and 0630 at the latest

ADDRESS: Blackpool Ballroom, Blackpool Tower – head to staff entrance at the back of the tower on Bank Hey Street opposite Primark.

WHAT TO WEAR: Bright colours! Please wear comfortable clothing that you can dance in (no high heels and shoes you won’t slip over in) and no logo’s.

APPROXIMATE TIME ON SCREEN: 0740 & 0905 (But this is subject to change)
Toilets will be available on site and the café in the ballroom should be open for members of the public who want to buy food and drinks. You will be asked to sign a release form on arrival at the location, which states that you do not mind appearing on TV. As the ballroom has a large dance floor we want to fill it up with members of the public dancing along to make it look effective, so if you can rope in anyone else to come down then please forward them this information.

June 2009
Blackpool Tower & Circus wins prestigious tourism award
Lancashire & Blackpool Tourist Board have awarded the honour of 'Large Visitor Attraction of The Year' for 2009/10 to Blackpool Tower & Circus. The award was made during the presentation ceremony and luncheon at Ribby Hall and accepted on behalf of the Tower team by General Manager, Geoff Sage.

In the opinion of Lancashire & Blackpool Tourist Board: ‘It’s hard for this attraction NOT to stand out – for very obvious reasons. However, the judges saw this award as recognition for a brilliant team. Blackpool Tower and Circus achieved high scores for service and welcome, as well as for the variety and presentation of activities available - making this attraction remarkable value for money. Often an overused expression but there really IS something for everyone here, where the order of the day is - simply to have FUN.’
