🌍 World Environment Day feels like a good moment to pause and say: we know we have a responsibility. Blackpool Grand Theatre is a building full of history, memory, and magic. It has been here for generations, and we want to make sure it is here for generations to come — not just as a place where people gather, laugh, cry and share stories, but as a place that takes real care over its impact on the world around it. That means making changes where we can, even when they are not the glamorous bits people see from their seats. Over the last ten years, those changes have helped us save more than 600 tonnes of carbon. We have reduced our carbon output by over 70 tonnes every year, moved our IT network fully into the cloud, switched to 100% renewable electricity, installed a voltage optimiser to reduce energy use, and replaced almost all of our old tungsten lighting with LED equivalents. One of our favourite examples is in the auditorium itself. Our chandeliers were lowered every month so the bulbs could be replaced. Since changing the auditorium lighting to LED four years ago, only two bulbs out of more than 200 have needed replacing. Now they come down just once a year for cleaning. It is quieter work than what happens on stage, but it matters. Less energy. Less waste. Less carbon. More care. We are proud of what has changed, but we know this is not the end of the story. It is something we have to keep working at - for our theatre, our town, and the planet we all share. 💚 @ace_national #WorldEnvironmentDay #BlackpoolGrand #Sustainability

Some days the loss of Ruth Eastwood feels impossible to put into words. Ruth wasn’t just an incredible Chief Executive, she was one of those rare people who changed the direction of a room simply by walking into it. She led with intelligence, warmth, humour and an unwavering belief in people. She saw potential where others saw obstacles, and she gave so many of us the confidence to believe in ourselves when we weren’t always sure we could. To me, Ruth was an incredible mentor, a trusted friend, and a source of support unlike any other, no one has ever come close. Her guidance shaped not only my career but the way I think about leadership, creativity and kindness. She had that remarkable ability to challenge you, encourage you and champion you all at the same time (she introduced me to Bev Holden who also changed my life). The impact she had on @Grand_Theatre is immeasurable. She helped transform the organisation, fought fiercely for the arts, steered the theatre through some of its most difficult years (the Covid years) and left a legacy that will continue to be felt for generations. But what made Ruth truly extraordinary wasn’t just what she achieved - it was how she made people feel. Valued. Heard. Capable. Important. Looking back at the countless tributes from across the industry, it is clear just how many lives she touched. From Blackpool to Leicester, Poole to Theatres Trust, Ruth earned the respect, admiration and affection of colleagues right across the country through her generosity, vision and compassion. She was widely credited with helping save and revitalise Blackpool Grand Theatre, turning it into an organisation of national significance while nurturing talent and championing the people around her (The Guardian). The theatre world lost an exceptional leader. Many of us lost someone far more personal. I still find myself wishing I could pick up the phone and hear her voice, ask her advice, or share a piece of news I know she would have been proud of. I know a few of us do. Ruth’s legacy lives on not only in the theatres she transformed and the organisations she strengthened, but in the people she believed in. I know I am one of many who will carry her influence with us for the rest of our lives. Ruth you are missed and spoken about daily. We’ll emember you always. RIP xxx

Sometimes a show comes along that you don’t just want people to see, you want them to ‘feel part of it’. That’s how I feel about Harry Clayton-Wright bringing Mr.Blackpool Homecoming Gala to our very own @Grand_Theatre Blackpool (this Wednesday 20 May). Harry is one of those rare artists (phenomenons!) who can be outrageously funny, deeply tender, beautifully strange and completely sincere all at once. You see instantly there is so much heart in what he does, and so much love for Blackpool, not a polished postcard version of it, but the real place: glittering, messy, funny, resilient and packed full of stories. After reading Harry’s glorious feature in The Guardian, it’s impossible not to feel even more proud and excited that this show is coming here. Mr. Blackpool is as it says ‘a homecoming’, a celebration and a big warm hug of a thank you to the town that shaped him. theguardian.com/culture/2026… It’s joyful, bold, moving and full of theatrical magic, the kind of night that reminds you why live performance matters. And why you should support it. Harry Clayton-Wright is a #Blackpool legend, and Mr.Blackpool ‘the Homecoming Gala’ is a show you really shouldn’t miss. Wednesday 20 May (Fast approaching!)
