Planning a trip is easier when you can ask people who have done it. The community board is where visitors and locals share tips on where to stay, where to eat and how to enjoy Blackpool.
How the board works
Every post is checked by a moderator before it appears. That keeps the board friendly and useful, and it means your message may take a little while to show up.
Topics to start with
- New to the forum? Say hello
- First time in the Rainbow Quarter
- Monday to Wednesday in Blackpool
- Where do you eat before a night out?
- Getting home late from Queen Street
- Where to stay: quiet B&B or a hotel with a bar?
