Blackpool to make history with Tower Top weddings

One of Britain’s tallest and most iconic landmarks has been granted a license to hold weddings for the first time in its history. Blackpool Tower applied for the license a few weeks ago and following checks has had the license granted for ‘Tower Top’ meaning that couples will be able to tie the knot 380ft up.

The Tower is now looking for a lucky couple to hold the first ever legal wedding ceremony at the top. There have been several blessings take place over the years at the top of the Tower but no one has ever held the actual service anywhere other than the Ballroom. It is expected that the first wedding will take place in the autumn.
On Monday 27th May 1985 the Escapologist Karl Bartoni and Wendy Stokes had a blessing at Tower Top before descending down the structure in a cage and on the 17th August 1992 Caroline Sherhouse and Kevin Singleton held a blessing at Tower Top before abseiling down to the promenade!

Geoff Sage, Tower General Manager comments: “It is great for the Tower and the resort that we have been granted the license for Tower Top weddings and we can’t wait to host the first ever legal ceremony. It is going to be a hugely momentous occasion and will be an honour for everyone here in the Tower team to be involved in making history.”
What many people don’t realise is that as well as the steel structure of the Tower the building houses a state of the art play area complete with huge party galleons, a private cinema, the most magnificent Ballroom in the country and an award winning Circus so wedding parties will be able to hold a real day with a difference!
