lackpool Pleasure Beach has been awarded the prestigious Thea Classic award as part of the 2021 Thea Awards. The Thea Awards are presented by the Themed Entertainment Association and recognise excellence in the creation of compelling experiences and places. The Thea Classic award recognises an attraction which has stood the test of time, so it is fitting that Blackpool Pleasure Beach has been awarded this honour during the park’s 125th anniversary. On awarding Blackpool Pleasure Beach, the Thea Classic Award, the TEA Thea awards committee commented: “As Blackpool Pleasure Beach turns 125 years old this year, it stands among few comparables in the world of themed entertainment, connecting the industry’s past and future by thriving through more than a century of cultural, social and technological change. “Blackpool Pleasure Beach was founded in 1896 by A.W.G.

Their additions in the modern era have been equally impressive. “As one of the world’s first and most iconic amusement parks, it has survived two world wars and the harsh environment of its seaside location while continually providing family fun and thrills for generations while remarkably also being a family- owned and -operated business since its inception, currently under the care of the fourth generation of Blackpool lineage.”
