Lyndene Legends Week: ‘That unmistakable Irish charm!’

Jimmy Cricket completes his ninth season at his favourite Blackpool hotel next week.

It’s season number 11 at the Lyndene Hotel for Jimmy Cricket as he returns to the popular Blackpool hotel in time for Legends Week. 

Northern Ireland’s famous funnyman has been gracing the seafront venue for more than a decade and he’s back there again on Wednesday (4 March).
