Blackpool Nightlife

My cousin and I happened to be in Blackpool in October, shortly after the Illuminations had been turned on. The friends that we were visiting drove us down to see them. Cruising along slowly in the car with the rest of the crowd we took in these wonderful lighting arrangements. It probably would have been better to have jumped out of the car, snapped the picture, and run back to the car, it was going that slowly, but it was a bit chilly so we didnt go that route.

Put on your clubbing gear and follow the crowd of drunken people, young and old wherever the mood takes you! Pub crawls are a popular way to meet as many people as you can. A great starting point is Yates's just off the main front. It will be impossible to avoid bumping into a hen or stag party on any given weekend and Blackpool caters well by selling all kinds of Stag/Hen paraphernalia from veils to fairy wings, handcuffs to stag antlers! It's all in good fun though.

Dress Code: You will find that the Northern dress code does not involve a coat! This is because northerners have a cast iron constitution. Beware, it is freezing here!

Take your pick! There are plenty of clubs or pubs to go to, depending on your mood.

Dress Code: Some places are kinda strick on this one, which I think is stupid for a touristy location. Our group couldn't get into a club, because one of the guys we were with was wearing 'trainers' or running shoes! PLEESE! So, if you are 'clubbing' I would suggest that you dress up a bit. And watch that foorwear!

The best place is the Town centre there is hundreds of nightclubs. Also if you are staying in a hotel near the prom you can either catch a tram or the number 1 bus which runs every 15 minutes. The fares are really cheap and the buses run until midnight and the trams run until 1 am or you can get a taxi back but they are very expensive.
There are a lot of places to go.

Dress Code: The dress code is really smart but casual.

Blackpool has alot of things at night. There is cinema, bowling, nightclubs, pubs and theaters. If your going to the cinema then it's best to go to the Odeon but bring your own food as if you buy it there it's a rip off! Bowling is a good idea but is quite pricey and you really need alot of people. Nightclubs are apparently good and are open until the early hours of the morning! There are loads of local pubs but if you go out late beware becuase some people can become very drunk! There are some beautiful performances on at the theaters and aren't usually to expensive.
It has so many things which really does provide entertainment for everyone and every like.

Dress Code: If you go to the cinema, pub or bowling then casual. If you go to a nightclub then most people dress up. Again if you go to the theater then it's best to dress up a little :)
