I have enjoyed a couple of trips to Morecambe Winter Gardens this month. Many thanks to Scrappy for sorting out the first trip and doing all the groundwork which meant I was able to sort the second.

It was opened in 1897 and closed in 1977. The Friends of the Winter Gardens were formed in 1986 to represent the interests of the building, and campaigned for its preservation and restoration. In 2006, the Friends formed a charitable trust company, The Morecambe Winter Gardens Preservation Trust (Ltd), to purchase the Winter Gardens. They are doing a cracking job and their effort in ensuring that this place is in the condition it is today should be commended.

On Saturday the ground floor will be opened up to paying customers. These customers will have paid to watch Fake That. Contain your excitement, it is sold out.
