Originally, it was hoped the museum would be open as early as June 2021
The £13m attraction was granted planning permission in 2018, but setbacks have been caused by the Covid pandemic and hold-ups in the construction of the Sands Hotel on Central Promenade where it will be based.
Its newly appointed chief executive Elizabeth Moss said: “This is such an exciting time to join the Showtown team, as we near the official opening for what will be an incredible, interactive celebration of Blackpool and the fun and entertainment industry that made it famous. The trust will also oversee the Showtown History Centre at Blackpool Central Library on Queen Street, which is currently closed for renovation. Funding for Showtown includes £4.4m from the Heritage Lottery Fund, £1.75m from the Coastal Communities Fund, £4m from the Northern Cultural Fund, £1.5m from the Lancashire Economic Partnership Growth Deal and £1m from Blackpool Council.
