Blackpool Sandcastle to get £500,000 upgrade

Blackpool's Sandcastle waterpark is to have a £500,000 refurbishment.

The Promenade attraction first opened its doors in 1986 and is the country's largest indoor waterpark, with 18 slides and features.

The improvements, which are due to be finished before Easter, will see the redevelopment of the park's changing village facilities, the slides painted and a new audio system being installed.

General manager Kyle Woodcock said: "This is a landmark year for us, and we wanted to mark our 40th birthday with improvements that our guests will really feel."
