Blackpool
Need we say any more….Blackpool is famous for fun, fun and more fun.
Although perhaps not the jewel in Lancashire’s crown that it once was Blackpool has remained largely unchanged in its focus and as still very much a tourist town. The appeal as a family resort may have dwindled as more Brits have headed of on cheaper package holidays abroad.
However, the appeal is as strong as ever for stag and hen nights looking for a good rowdy weekend of debauchery. With strip clubs a plenty for both the stags and hens Blackpool embraces the stereotypical stag and hen night and certainly delivers.
There are some great daytime events for the stags enjoy too. Including, Air Rifles Shooting and Outdoor Survival Skills. For the hen parties there are some great events including Foreplay Lessons and Burlesque Dance Classes.
With highlights including the Pleasure Beach, The Blackpool Tower, The Illuminations or the Winter Gardens, Blackpool has something for everyone. All of which draw visitors in their millions.
The Blackpool Pleasure beach is a undoubtedly a success story, with Britain’s tallest roller coaster and even a 4 star hotel it is one of the most visited amusement parks in the world.
Be warned if you plan to visit Blackpool when the illuminations are unveiled each year though as this is when the town really makes a mockery of its reputation as being in decline. Hotel rooms are hard to come by and the promenades are packaged with revellers. This is hardly surprising as the scale of the illuminations is immense. They go on for miles and use literally millions of bulbs.
We cannot talk about Blackpool without mentioning the Tower. Modelled on the Eiffel Tower has been standing proudly on the seafront since 1894.
Blackpool had a real boost with the success of the football club in recent years making it all the way to the Premier League under the guidance of the entertaining Ian Holloway.
Blackpool is a bit like marmite, you love it or hate it. But, be assured that if you do love it you will have an absolute ball of a stag or hen party!
