The exhibition has been designed by stage designer Andrew Edwards and will be launched with a new Augmented Reality app that allows visitors to appear transported. From Friday 2nd September, Blackpool’s Illuminations will showcase a new light feature on the Golden Mile celebrating Star Trek, which will be seen from many miles into space.

This is the first time a major holiday destination anywhere in the world has celebrated a movie franchise or entertainment brand enjoying a 50 year history. Star Trek will meet all the expectations of a Blackpool visitor with an exclusive exhibition which boasts many never seen before items. A section of the world-famous illuminations will feature the much-loved captains of Star Trek. More exciting activity within the resort is yet to be announced.ā€
