Larger, grander and more spectacular than any similar project previously conceived, 'Admission All Classes' aims to disseminate the history of fairground, music hall, circus and sea-side entertainments at the UK's premier entertainment resort and thereby revitalise its entertainment and cultural industry quarter. 'Admission all Classes', is an ambitious application based on a partnership between the National Fairground Archive at the University of Sheffield Library and Blackpool Council Department of Leisure, Culture and Community Learning. The project has the full support of Blackpool's Theatre Group (the consortium of private commercial theatrical venues in the resort) and the North West Regional Development Agency. We aim to present a series of high profile festivals/themed weekends, underpinned by high-class research in the history of popular entertainments, in order to give greater impact and authority to Blackpool's tourism and heritage strategy for the next five years. Blackpool possesses a remarkable array of surviving pleasure and accommodation architecture, and a unique tradition of popular entertainment. Blackpool also has 127,000 theatre seats to be filled each week (up to 23,000 a day); with visitor numbers decreasing in the resort there is a need to bring something new to the entertainments already on offer at the venues. These venues, such as the Grand Theatre (designed by Matcham in 1894), the Central, South and North Piers, the Winter Gardens, the Tower Circus and the Pleasure Beach, will all play host to a series of themed weekends from July 2007 to October 2008. Every six weeks, a particular aspect of performance history will be selected and will be repackaged in performances by contemporary artists from the worlds of new circus, variety and theatre. Acts and performers will be hired by the Whoopee Agency, one of the country's leading theatrical agencies. Blackpool Council has also offered ten free busking licenses for each weekend, with the Whoopee Agency auditioning performers for each specially themed weekend. The street performers will act as a performance link to the venues and will be allocated specific sites in the town centre and promenade for their shows. Additional value will come from the promotion of a Fancy Dress Cycle Parade, while specially themed exhibitions of material from the National Fairground Archive will be exhibited at the Grundy Art Gallery ranging from 'Seaside Entertainments' and 'Clowns and Merriment: the Photographs of Lionel Bathe'.Marketing and promotion of the events will be through print and digital media, with the commissioning, in association with Nick Partick of Radio 4's Making History, of a series of 'Podcasts' to tie in with the various themes of the project. Podcasting is a cost-effective method whereby public organisations can reinforce their profile and deliver expertise and knowledge in the form of custom-made radio programmes that can be accessed via the internet by stakeholders and a wider, global audience, at a time that suits each listener. Each podcast will come on-line a few days before the associated featured weekend to heighten media interest, to attract potential visitors, and to become a valuable resource for listeners around the globe before, during and after the event. Podcasts will take the form of mini-radio features: 10-minute programmes with interviews with performers and the project team. In additional to these digital broadcasts, the programme of events will be disseminated through leaflets and brochures available to download as PDF files on the partner websites and available in print form through the marketing departments of Blackpool Tourism Department and the venues. The project is linked to the wider revitalisation of Blackpool as a seaside resort by improving the quality of tourism opportunities available and aims to create the conditions necessary for a sustainable annual event of national and international significance which was achieved through the continuing association and partnership that the NFA now has as creative advisor to the Showzam Festival from 2009 onwards.

比以前设想的任何类似项目都更大，更宏伟，更壮观，“入场所有类别”旨在传播英国首屈一指的娱乐度假胜地的游乐场，音乐厅，马戏团和海滨娱乐的历史，从而振兴其娱乐和文化产业区。“所有课程的入学”是一项雄心勃勃的申请，基于谢菲尔德大学图书馆和布莱克浦理事会休闲、文化和社区学习部之间的合作。该项目得到了布莱克浦剧院集团（度假村内私人商业剧院的财团）和西北地区发展署的全力支持。我们的目标是提出一系列高姿态的节日/主题周末，在流行娱乐的历史上的高级研究的基础上，为了给布莱克浦的旅游和遗产战略在未来五年更大的影响和权威。布莱克浦拥有一系列令人瞩目的幸存的娱乐和住宿建筑，以及独特的流行娱乐传统。布莱克浦每周还有127,000个剧院座位（每天最多23,000个）;随着度假胜地游客人数的减少，有必要为场馆已经提供的娱乐活动带来新的东西。这些场地，如大剧院（由Matcham于1894年设计），中央码头，南码头和北码头，冬季花园，塔楼马戏团和欢乐海滩，将在2007年7月至2008年10月期间举办一系列主题周末。每六周，表演历史的一个特定方面将被选择，并将重新包装在表演的当代艺术家从新的马戏团，品种和戏剧的世界。行为和表演者将聘请由乌比机构，该国领先的戏剧机构之一。布莱克浦理事会还为每个周末提供了10个免费的街头表演许可证，乌比机构为每个特别主题的周末试镜表演者。街头表演者将作为与场地的表演联系，并将在市中心和海滨长廊分配特定的场地进行表演。额外的价值将来自于一个花式连衣裙自行车游行的推广，而来自国家博览会档案馆的材料的特别主题展览将在格伦迪艺术画廊展出，从“海滨娱乐”和“小丑与欢乐：莱昂内尔·巴斯的照片。营销和推广活动将通过印刷和数字媒体，与委托，在与尼克帕尔蒂克的广播4的创造历史，一系列的“播客”，以配合该项目的各种主题。播客是一种具有成本效益的方法，公共组织可以通过定制的无线电节目的形式加强其形象并提供专业知识和知识，利益相关者和更广泛的全球受众可以通过互联网在适合每个听众的时间访问。每个播客将在相关的专题周末前几天上线，以提高媒体的兴趣，吸引潜在的访问者，并成为地球仪活动前、活动期间和活动后听众的宝贵资源。播客将采取小型电台专题节目的形式：10分钟节目，采访表演者和项目小组。除了这些数字广播，活动计划将通过传单和小册子传播，可在合作伙伴网站上下载PDF文件，并通过布莱克浦旅游部和场馆的营销部门以印刷形式提供。该项目与通过提高现有旅游机会的质量来更广泛地振兴布莱克浦作为海滨度假胜地有关，旨在为具有国家和国际意义的可持续年度活动创造必要条件，这是通过NFA从2009年起担任Showzam Festival创意顾问的持续协会和伙伴关系实现的。
