A person who speaks for Tiffany’s Hotel said: “We are very sad about what happened when a child got shocked on Sunday evening in our reception lounge. ” We are thinking of the child and their family during this sad time.
We want to make sure everyone knows that keeping our guests and team members healthy and safe is the most important thing to us. We have decided to close temporarily so we can inspect everything ourselves.
‘We are still accepting phone calls and we are cooperating closely with the Blackpool Council and local enforcement to help with their investigation. ‘
