Stanley Park Bandstand
Stanley Park Bandstand
A "classic temple" style bandstand is situated at the edge of Stanley Park’s boating lake, surrounded by amphitheatre-style seating. This was specifically located to use the acoustics of sound travelling across the lake. As with the other features in the park, the bandstand was designed by Thomas Mawson; it was opened on 1 July 1929. The building features an entablature and has a copper roof. The nearby steps are intended to seat an audience of up to 2500 people.
Stanley Park, Blackpool

Stanley Park is regarded as one of the region’s finest parks. Located in the Great Marton and Layton areas of Blackpool, it is the town's primary park and was designed to include significant sporting provisions, along with formal gardens, a boating lake and woodland area. It was designed and built in the 1920s, under the eye of Thomas Mawson.

The park was officially opened in 1926 by the 17th Earl of Derby, Sir George Edward Villiers Stanley, in whose honour it was named. The three hundred and ninety acre park received Grade II* status on the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens in 1995 (Historic England List Entry Number: 1000952) and benefited from a five million pound Heritage Lottery Fund restoration in 2007.
