Friday 15th May at the Grand Theatre, Blackpool.

Join psychic medium, television and radio presenter, and writer IAN LAWMAN as he takes you on an Overnight Ghost Walk at Blackpool’s Victorian Grand Theatre and makes you question everything you thought you believed in.

Ian will also conduct Psychic and Meditation Workshops during this very special event.

Included in the Overnight Ghost Walk will be experiments, investigations and full use of paranormal investigative equipment.

Ian Lawman, perhaps better known as the Bad Boy of the Psychic World, after talking to the Kray Twins, passing and relaying messages from the other side to the underworld, Ian has now convinced some of the most hardened of sceptics with his confidence and laid-back style, even the notorious Dave Courtney was taken aback that much by something Ian had told him he wanted to put Ian’s proof in is new book.

Not only has Ian’s work shocked the underworld, he has many famous names under his belt, that consult with Ian’s gift. His work as stretched from the Living TV show Most Haunted, to Ian’s own show I’m Famous and Frightened, which reached over 2.5 million viewers, making this the biggest hit for Living TV.

Ian can be seen on LivingTV 2 in his show Living With The Dead. He is currently filming the new series at haunted locations throughout the UK; this will be broadcast in March.

The media now call Ian the Bad Boy with a style crossed between Jamie Oliver for his casual style and David Beckham for his mad and trendy looks. Ian has appeared on most daytime television shows along with programmes such as Big Brother’s Big Mouth and House Busters. He writes for Prediction and Chat’s It’s Fate magazines to name but a few and has been published in newspapers from the News of the World to the Daily Telegraph. He has appeared on every major BBC radio station and independents including Kerrang Radio! Currently Ian is completing his soon-to-be published book Ghost Hunter; Confessions of a Psychic Bad Boy.

The Frank Matcham designed Grand Theatre, Blackpool (1894) is the home of Supernatural Events’ Grand Ghost Tours. The first tour took place here on 31st October 2006, Hallowe’en, a very special occasion with 35 intrepid paranormal enthusiasts walking through the Victorian theatre in the dead of night, in total darkness (well, some did bring torches!), hearing the tales of ghostly sightings and investigating areas that the public wouldn’t normally see during the day, never mind the wee small hours around the witching hour!

Derek Acorah brought his hit television show Derek Acorah’s Ghost Towns to the theatre and during his investigation into the ghosts of the Grand, he and his co-presenters felt, heard, and experienced strange sounds, movement and sights from beyond. Now you have the chance to follow in their footsteps! Visit backstage where props have been known to move of their own accord. Sit in the darkened auditorium… if you dare!

‘I hope you enjoy your very special tour of the Grand. Maybe you will experience something from beyond, as I did with Ghost Towns. Have Fun!’ Derek Acorah

Many of those who have attended the Grand Ghost Tours at the Grand Theatre have asked if they could return to investigate what they have heard, felt or seen. Occasionally we are able to offer you the chance to do just that with our Grand Overnight Vigils which commence at 11pm and finish at 5am the following morning. Click on Overnight Investigations in the left navigation bar for further details.

Work began on the first of Blackpool’s three piers, the North Pier, in 1862. It was opened on 21^st May 1863, witnessed by around 20,000 visitors to the resort. A landing jetty was added to the main structure in 1864 and three years later the pier was extended further. Two pleasure steamers offered excursions to the Lake District, Isle of Man, Llandudno, Southport and Liverpool.

In 1874 the pier head was enlarged to accommodate the pavilion, a bandstand, restaurant and shops, and in 1875 and 1877 extended yet again with the installation of electric lighting. The Theatre was added in 1903, however it, along with the pavilion were destroyed. The current 1500 seat theatre, built on the site in 1939, survives only through the quick reactions of one of its entertainers. In 1985 singer Vince Hill noticed smoke when leaving the North Pier and, having raised the alarm, assisted in fighting the blaze.

Grade II listed, the North Pier is considered the most traditional of the three Blackpool piers, retaining much of its Victorian splendour and is devoted to the gentler pursuits of promenading and sun bathing rather than the brasher entertainment offered by its newer companions.

Explore with us the interior of North Pier Theatre to see what really goes on when the cast and audience leave, the lights switched off and the doors locked!
