New Peter Rabbit tourist attraction is coming to Blackpool

Anew Peter Rabbit tourist attraction is opening in Blackpool next year.

The £1m interactive attraction, which has been 18 months in the making, is based on the TV series and aims to bring to life the adventures of Peter and his friends.

The over-sized characters and scenery will immerse guests in the Beatrix Potter series.

Visitors will walk through five themed zones and complete challenges to try to earn badges.

They will be tested on their creativity to see if they have the skills to join a secret treehouse club, and guests will also get the chance to have a meet and greet with Peter himself.

The attraction has been created by Merlin and it is the first time the company has created a stand-alone visitor experience based on the series.

It will open on the seafront, next door to Blackpool's Madame Tussauds.

The Peter Rabbit attraction is not the only entertainment coming to Blackpool.

A new £300m attraction is also to open in the seaside town, with three indoor theme parks, live performances and several rides and shows.
