Applause rang out from a packed out audience as the cast took a bow after the murderer was revealed in Brutal Biology on Friday the 9th of August.

New Date Added!!

Bispham CastAways annual murder mystery, “Brutal Biology” by Belladonna Mysteries and directed by Sam Bolton and Helen Findlay on Friday the 9th of August 2019, SOLD OUT with over two weeks to go! Luckily, we received a phone call from Poulton Rotary and they have asked us to repeat the show again for them on…

Friday the 20th of September.

Doors open at 6.45pm with curtain up at 7.30pm. Don’t forget to bring your own drinks!

Same place, same show, same quality!

There will be extra tickets available for the public. The only holdup is that the CastAways are waiting for a menu choice that could affect the ticket price (which they guarantee will not exceed £10 per ticket) at which point the tickets will go on sale, both online at this website plus via email at bispham.castaways@gmail.com, phone on 01253 35322 and messaging our Facebook page. They have also asked that they can go the full hog and dress up in island/holiday gear, that we always encourage for a murder mystery!

CastAways at Bispham Gala

A few of the CastAways at the Gala parade

Saturday 20th of July, despite the wind, saw Bispham CastAways members take to the streets around Bispham and Norbreck in the parade at the Bispham with Norbreck Children’s Gala. A few brave souls then took to the area in front of the Rose Queen crowning stage to tell the people about the group and then sang two songs from their upcoming “Dramatic Tales From History” event on the 9th of September. “Beside the Seaside” and “We’ll Meet Again” showed off the musical stylings of the members, who got a lovely round of applause for their effort. We look forward to participating again next year!

CastAways does Pride

Some hardy members of Bispham CastAways braved the rain and winds on the promenade to walk in the Blackpool Pride 2019 parade. Armed with rainbow face paint, jingle sticks, rattling hula hoops, bubble guns and huge smiles, they carried the banner for the group in support of the LGBT community from South Pier to The Metropole.
