Drake wax figure arrives in Blackpool from £11.81

A lifelike Drake figure has joined Madame Tussauds Blackpool for a limited summer residency, placing the rapper, singer and songwriter alongside Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande in the attraction’s Festival Fields section.

Admission starts at £11.81, while Fylde Coast residents can receive discounts of up to 50%. The addition is likely to be most relevant to music fans, celebrity-waxwork enthusiasts and visitors looking for a new photo opportunity. Visit Lancashire’s announcement confirms that the figure will be in Blackpool during the summer, but it does not provide exact opening or closing dates.

The essentials

Drake joins the Festival Fields line-up

The figure depicts Drake in one of his recognisable fashion-forward looks. According to the Visit Lancashire Blog announcement, Madame Tussauds studio artists maintained the lifelike waxwork ahead of its arrival at the Blackpool attraction.

Visitors can pose and take photographs with the figure in Festival Fields, where it joins wax figures of Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. The wider attraction contains more than 80 figures covering music, show business, sport, superheroes and members of the royal family, so the Drake display forms part of an established celebrity collection rather than a separate announced exhibition.

Janine Marshall, general manager of Madame Tussauds Blackpool, said the attraction expects the addition to appeal particularly to music fans and visitors who enjoy taking selfies with new celebrity figures.

What the limited residency means for visitors

The Drake wax figure is not described as a permanent addition. Both Madame Tussauds Blackpool and Visit Lancashire call it a limited summer residency, making availability the main consideration for anyone planning a trip specifically to see it.

The announcement does not identify a first or final viewing date. It also gives no separate viewing schedule, transport guidance or accessibility information for the display. Visitors should therefore check the attraction’s current admission and availability information for their intended day before completing a booking.

Tickets and booking checks

General admission prices start at £11.81. Fylde Coast residents may qualify for a discount of up to 50%, although the source does not state the eligibility conditions or resulting ticket prices. Anyone hoping to use that offer should confirm the applicable terms during booking.

Tickets are available online through the official Madame Tussauds Blackpool website. The Drake figure is presented as part of the attraction’s celebrity line-up, with no separate ticket mentioned in the announcement. Before paying, visitors attending mainly for this limited addition should confirm that it will remain in Festival Fields on their chosen date.
