The Friends of The Grand were formed in 1973 to save Blackpool’s beautiful Grand Theatre from demolition. An independent organisation, it’s provided financial and voluntary support to the theatre for nearly half a century. Early Friends included such names as Violet Carson (Ena Sharples), Alistair Cooke, Leslie Crowther, Tim West and Prunella Scales. Billy Pearce, Johnnie Casson and founding member Sir Ken Dodd OBE. Over the last 25 years, The Friends have contributed in excess of one million pounds towards much-needed Grand Theatre projects. Including the provision of new carpets, seating and technical equipment.
Annual membership of Friends of The Grand is just £20, with an under-18s and over-65 price of £10 per year. For more info please visit: www.blackpoolgrand.co.uk/join-and-support-us/how-to-support-us/friends-of-the-grand
