Blackpool Gazette
|January 05, 2026
Twelfth Night is on January 5 and marks the end of the festive season, the cards are taken down, thre tree taken to the recycling centre and the decorations packed away until December.

The day carries a spirited mix of fun and reflection, making it feel like the final bow after a grand performance.
This occasion also ties into Shakespeare’s play, which shares its name, and features Viola, Orsino, Olivia, Sir Toby Belch, Feste and Malvolio.
While the play does not centre on the day itself, it matches the feelingchaotic, clever and full of heart.
The story brings disguises, mixed-up love and surprises that unravel with humour and grace.
