The bubbliest event in the North West returns

Blackpool Bubble Rush is set to make a colourful return next month, seeing hundreds of people running, walking and even dancing through coloured foam for charity.

The only Bubble Rush in the North West will take over Lawson’s Showground on Sunday, August 7th.

Organised by Brian House Children’s Hospice, Blackpool Bubble Rush last took place in 2019, when 2,000 bubble rushers raised an incredible £50,000 for the charity.

The next event was set for April 2020 but was cancelled with weeks to go as the pandemic took hold of the country. Despite hopes for a return in 2021, the pandemic forced another cancellation of the family-fun event.

But the event is back for 2022, and with heaps of foam at the ready, the Fundraising Team at Brian House is primed for its long-awaited return.

Head of Fundraising, Linzi Warburton, said: “We were so sad to have to cancel not one, but two dates for our bubbliest event.

“Bubble Rush is a family favourite among our fundraising events, and love seeing people cross the finish line covered in foam with a huge smile of their faces. It really is so much fun for all the ages.

“But more importantly, everyone taking part and raising sponsorship is helping us to provide outstanding care and support to life-limited children and their families across the Fylde coast. Taking part means that we can continue to be there for our area’s most fragile children.”
