Blackpool Day Out 🗼🎉😀


Details
Hello!
Quite a few members suggested doing a little day out in Blackpool so here it comes guys! The idea is to go into Blackpool for the day, do lots of walking, explore this popular seaside location filled with lots of attractions and things to do/see!
I will meet you all outside of the Blackpool North train station at approximately 12pm (it’s likely I might be there from 11:30 depending on how the morning goes). I need to drop my doggy 🐕 off at a boarding place at 10am, so will be leaving shortly after and will be driving. My hubby and I are staying overnight.
We would be aiming to leave Blackpool North Train station to start exploring at around 12:30 ish.
The majority of our lovely members will most likely be getting a train in, I have left some suggested train times as well as suggested budget friendly hotels at the bottom of this advert.
Please check out the detailed plan for the day. It’s to keep it budget friendly but get the best Blackpool experience for adults:
- Meeting everyone at around 12-12:30pm outside Blackpool North train station
- The day will start at the North Pier. It's centrally located, offers beautiful views, and is a great spot to begin exploring the town. It is the oldest and longest out of the three piers, dating back to 1963.
- We will enjoy the views back to the beach and town, and even see some of the attractions on the pier itself. It’s supposed to be a little bit more relaxed and not as busy!
- We’ll then take a stroll along Blackpool's famous beach and promenade, soaking in the traditional seaside atmosphere.
- Food/drinks at any point - lots of places nearby to grab something on the go!
- Then off to explore the Comedy Carpet, which celebrates the history of entertainment in Blackpool with the words of jokes, songs and catchphrases made famous by over 1000 comedians.
- Blackpool tower 🗼 for anyone who fancies it! Please pre-book your entry by following this link (it’s £16:50 per ticket, for the Blackpool Tower Eye standard ticket option):

Please ideally book your entry for 15:30 (that’s what I did). If anyone has a blue light card, it offers a 10% discount! If you can’t get the exact time, don’t worry, book it as close to that time as you can so we can stay within the area whilst your up on the tower :)
- Explore the arcades/pleasure beach/any fun rides for anyone who wants to!
- More food/drinks !
Let’s have a great day out people :D
