A performer at Blackpool Tower has suffered minor injuries in a fall during a stunt, causing the crowd to be evacuated.
The individual is “recovering well” after sustaining the injury in a “Wheel of Faith” act during a circus show on Saturday, a spokesperson for Blackpool Tower said.
All guests watching the performance were asked to exit the venue as a precautionary measure.
The performer, who is being treated for a minor wrist injury, had been executing a rehearsed move under planned conditions, the spokesperson said.
Circus performances at Blackpool Tower will open as usual on Sunday, while affected guests have been provided with complimentary tickets for a future performance.
A review of the act will now take place.
