Drake’s wax figure lands in Blackpool from £11.81
A lifelike wax figure of Drake has joined Madame Tussauds Blackpool for a limited summer residency. The new arrival is aimed particularly at music fans and visitors seeking celebrity photo opportunities. Standard admission starts at £11.81, while Fylde Coast residents can receive a discount of up to 50%.
Visit Lancashire’s announcement confirms the venue and summer residency but does not provide exact opening or closing dates. Drake’s figure is described as already being part of the attraction’s celebrity line-up, although anyone planning a visit specifically to see it should confirm availability through the booking website.
Drake joins the Festival Fields line-up
The figure has been installed in the Festival Fields section alongside wax versions of Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. Visitors can see Drake’s likeness at close range and pose for photographs with it. The figure is dressed in what the announcement describes as one of the artist’s signature fashion-forward looks.
Madame Tussauds studio artists maintained the lifelike figure ahead of its Blackpool appearance. Janine Marshall, general manager at Madame Tussauds Blackpool, said the attraction expected the addition to appeal to music fans and visitors who enjoy taking selfies with its celebrity figures.
The Drake display is included within the wider attraction rather than presented as a separately ticketed exhibition. Madame Tussauds Blackpool has more than 80 wax figures covering music and showbusiness personalities, superheroes, sporting figures and members of the Royal Family. That means visitors booking general admission can see the new figure as one part of a broader visit.
What the limited residency includes
The main feature is the opportunity to view and photograph the Drake wax figure in the Festival Fields setting. No appearance or performance by Drake is included: the residency concerns his wax likeness only.
Visit Lancashire does not list any additional programme, special sessions or timed activities linked to the figure’s arrival. The announcement therefore presents the installation as a new addition to the existing visitor experience, rather than a scheduled live event.
The practical picture
Tickets start at £11.81 and can be booked online through Madame Tussauds Blackpool. The advertised Fylde Coast resident discount is up to 50%, but the source does not specify the required evidence, eligible ticket types or other conditions, so local visitors should check the current offer before paying.
The announcement also omits exact residency dates, daily viewing times, a street address, transport guidance and accessibility information for the display. Visitors should review the attraction’s current practical information and confirm that Drake remains in Festival Fields before completing a journey or booking tickets specifically for the new figure.
