  • Make sure you have plenty of warm clothing as it can be bitterly cold by the sea unless it is the height of Summer.

    Maybe some headache tablets for your morning after hangover!

  • Bring motion sickness pills for those who will be enjoying the rides at Pleasure Beach. Some antacids might be a good idea after consuming all the candy, ice cream and candy floss on the piers.

    Bring your beach gear, there are 7 miles of beach to lay out on when the tide is out.(perhaps scuba gear when the tide is in ;) ?)

    Lots of cash as there are tons of shops to buy silly souveniers. With every step there is another booth or shop luring you in to spend your money.

  • BACKPACK (IT'S NOT WORTH STAYING TOO LONG).

    WARM CLOTHES ARE A VERY GOOD IDEA WHEN GOING TO BLACKPOOL UNLESS BRITAIN IS REALLY WARM.
    WATERPROOFS ARE ALSO A VERY GOOD IDEA.

    JUST YOUR USUAL STUFF.

    NORMAL CAMERA, FILM, AND BATTERIES.

    UMBRELLA.

    Tip: There's a good, cheap left luggage at the North train station.

    Take warm clothes as it can be very windy. An umbrella would be useful too.

  • It depends if you are staying ina hotel ifnot all you will need is money. If you are staying over i would say bring cloths for what you think you might be doing like if you are going to the theatre then you should bring some smart clothes and get a bit dressed up. What ever suits you.

    I would reccommend you bring some extra clothing because if it is a cold day and you go to the pleasure beach and you get wet it won't fell nice if you have to go out to the theatre in what you are already wearing.

    If you are staying ina hotel they will provide it for you so that you don't have to bring any. If you are only comeing for a day i would advise you bring some wipes just to clean yourself up and refresh yourself.

    It depends if you are wanting to take photos of your family although i would advise it as when the sunsets blackpool looks magical so that is when you will get some good photos.

    If you are going to go on the beach bring some swimming wear so that your children can go into the sea.

  • Take something nice and warm and windproof if you are going from Autumn onwards, you may even need it in the Summer as well.

    Coats!

  • A coat is an absolute necessity whatever time of year you're in Blackpool. The weather is very unpredictable and if it is nice, chances are it'll only last a couple of days. It's not the Med :) A coat will not only keep you warm if the worst happens, but will also prevent you from instantly standing out as a holidaymaker (which, sadly and as far as some are concerned, is equivalent to wearing a neon sign on your head saying "Fleece Me").

    Windy!

  • The weather is changing over here very quickly. Always take some warm and anti wind clothes. Because of the sea you feel much colder that your termometer says.
    Nightlife dressing code is... well , I dont think there is any because I have seen naked people as well

    Warm clothing as the weather can change on the coast. When it rains in the north of england, it rains hard so pack a strong umbrella and carry this with you at all times.

    You can find shops and chemists around Blackpool, so no need to pack items which you may not put to use.

    Take your camera and snap away, lots of places to see, especially the illimuations around Sept/Oct

    Bring your bucket and spade as the beach is lovely in the summer time.
