Season eight scheduled at popular Blackpool hotel

Lyndene Hotel in Blackpool

Jimmy Cricket is looking forward to yet another season at a Blackpool hotel, which he has dubbed as his “second home”!

Jimmy started his seventh season at the Lyndene Hotel back in early July – read about his 2022 return here.

And he has now lined up his eighth year of appearances at the popular promenade venue.

Been touring more this year, but it’s wonderful to be back at the Lyndene Hotel (the 1st Wednesday of every month, now till December 2022), here with Tom the compère/singer/musician and Colin on keyboards!

His last two appearances for this year are on Wednesdays 2 November and 7 December.
And then Jimmy is back at the Lyndene for the first time in 2023 on Wednesday 5 July.
Additionally, he will be performing there on 2 August, 6 September, 4 October, 1 November and 6 December.
Paul Swift, general manager at the Lyndene, told Jimmy: “We love nothing more than getting to split our sides laughing on the first Wednesday of every month watching your show when you come to visit.

“Jimmy isn’t just one of our incredible acts, he’s family and takes the time to speak to all of our team and check how they each are when he comes to visit.

“Thank you for being you Mr Cricket!

“We look forward to your visits and always love watching your fantastic act!”

Jimmy commented: “May and I enjoy working at the Lyndene (our second home).
“Always great to chat to Courtney and Branden, lots of love to you and Claire and everyone at #TeamLyndene!”

The hotel’s website says: “Located on Blackpool’s glorious seafront, the Lyndene Hotel is the No 1 choice for hotels with entertainment in Britain’s favourite holiday destination.

“Situated amongst family attractions, glittering show venues, great shopping and Blackpool’s jewel, the Blackpool Tower, our hotel is in the prime position for your holiday base.
