DEFINITELY not for chickens, the Blackpool Birdman competition is scheduled to take place this Sunday from 3pm to 5pm at North Pier.

Pier owners Leisure Parcs said a host of celebrities, including Jeremy Beadle, will cheer on contestants who take on the challenge of attempting to fly from the pier with prize money totalling £1,000 up for grabs.

Would-be birdmen and women can collect an application form from the North Pier box office or phone 292029.

There is a £15 entry fee for contestants and £1 for spectators with all proceeds donated to the Macmillan Windmill Appeal.
