Knittaz with Attitude: The Blackpool Tapestry

We’re creating our own epic tapestry telling the history of Blackpool - from seaside holidays and the Tower to illuminations, entertainment, industry, rebellion, memories and the people who have made the town what it is. Come along and help us stitch Blackpool’s story together. You don’t need to be an expert stitcher or embroiderer - just bring your ideas, memories and creativity. We’ll work together to create a colourful, contemporary celebration of Blackpool and its history, one stitch at a time.
