I attended last year and the lighting was fine.
There was a whole additional area dedicated to model trucks which I found fascinating and a welcome addition.
The traders list is impressive and there are many clubs attending so that together with a visit to the Blackpool with its bracing sea air will make for another great show

The lighting has been changed the show has taken up another room 100% better since Ian took over from Mark a year ago.

I have been looking at some comments from previous years which talk about the venue not been very good because of poor lighting has this been addressed by the organisers?

Yes i agree thank you Ian

Great Show just what we need to promote our hobby, meet up with "old" freinds, Best up north'

A wonderful list of traders and modelers, we all owe a very large debt of gratitude to Iain Lewis for keeping the Blackpool Show going. Show your gratitude by attending the Show otherwise these shows will eventually fail.
