To celebrate the 125th birthday of one of Morecambe’s premier heritage attractions, the Winter Gardens Preservation Trust is planning a weekend of activities including a children’s party, prize raffle draw, live music and special heritage tours.

Professor Vanessa Toulmin, Chair of the Winter Gardens Trust said: “Join us on Saturday July 16 for a children’s party where we will be handing out 125 party bags to local children including a lunch box, colouring book and crayons and a commemorative badge. We want to make our birthday truly a community event and to thank all the local residents who have helped us reach this milestone.

"We are touched by the love and support shown to our theatre from all local businesses and supporters who have donated. The Winter Gardens was originally called the People’s Palace and on our birthday weekend we will show that this is still the case.”
