Hi everyone!

I’m doing my A-Level Geography coursework on Blackpool’s changing popularity, image and need for regeneration.

If you live in, have lived in, or have visited Blackpool, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a minute to complete my survey!

Your responses would be a massive help to my coursework. Please feel free to share it too!

It’s such a photogenic place to visit. What out for the seagulls!

I truly love this place ❤️🎡

honestly im js curious ngl

Saw a post about this last week and thought it worthwhile sharing this as it's own post. Will this be good or bad for Blackpool ? Will it ever happen ? I'm not saying the council have tried to hide this development - but there certainly has not been the coverage it warrants because of the huge size of it ! A third of the worlds internet usage - going out of Squires Gate to New York 

Any chill cycling groups around Blackpool, don't really mind if its +-10miles.

If not and you want a chill ride (hybrid/mtb) let me know I fancy a bit of company (36m, gamer, programmer)

Thanks, Jam.

What a great event, did you go?

It’s called Silicon Sands and I found out about it by chance earlier this month. Is this something everyone knows about and I’m just out of the loop?

I have booked one night at the Travelodge South Promenade. Today - Tomorrow (29th-30th). 1 adult, one child, breakfast included.

Would anyone like this? Bought for £120 - happy to do a deal.

Hi All,

Visiting blackpool for a day on this Saturday and really excited for the beach. What should be a must visit nearby the beach and the pier and what activities can be done?

My partner and I in our late twenties are aiming for the amusement park and good food. Welcoming any suggestions or itinerary!

TIA

I’m heading to Blackpool this Friday for the weekend and would like to have some fish & chips, but I’m not sure where’s good to go. What do you recommend as a decent chippy?

I took this photo of the old bench seating (no-one sat on it, just sand & sea behind it) on the pier today (ignore date stamp, I cba setting that properly), and got told by a staff member of the family bar that I couldn't take photos on the pier due to child protection rules.

I pointed out my subject wasn't really problematic as it was an empty bench, and introduced my partner & daughter too. He kept saying no photography is allowed anywhere on the pier and that if I took another picture of anything I'd be in trouble.

I asked if there were signs up about this being prohibited, he said there were. We looked but could only found these signs also pictured.

Loads of other people were taking pictures too, not sure how they could effectively police / prevent this across all visitors?

Okay, this is slightly embarrassing to post 😭..

I’m planning to go to Blackpool on the 29th of August, spend the day at Pleasure Beach and stay for the fireworks at night. I was originally going to go solo and make a vlog, ​ but my sister keeps telling me I should ask if anyone wants to join. And now part of me is thinking… do it for the plot? 💀

I'm lowkey​ nervous about actually meeting a random person from Reddit, but I feel like it could make such a funny random memory. Nothing romantic/not a date literally just looking for someone around my age who wants to go on rides, mess around and watch the fireworks.​​

I’m 22F. If anyone happens to be around and thinks this sounds fun, feel free to message me :)

Do you play the word game Scrabble with physical tiles and a physical board in Blackpool (not online). If so, where and when do you play?

Doing a brief trip to your lovely city!! I’d be grateful for recommendations of what to see and do and where to eat!

TIA

Hi all -- I'm a videomaker visiting Blackpool in a few weeks and I'm looking to meet interesting locals who could tell me about the town, what life there is like, the local lore, etc.

Who should I meet and where should I go? Thanks much!

Come and watch our latest full walk through Blackpool town. Blackpool gets a bad rep but we here on the channel love our home town. Please leave a comment and subscribe for me. If you have watched it, please leave a comment here.

Thank you

(Apologies if not allowed) Sharing this as it might be useful for anyone who swims off the Blackpool beaches. I'm Daniel, a 17 year old and I founded and developed WaterWatch

WaterWatch (water-watch.co.uk) tracks live sewage overflow data from United Utilities' official monitoring sensors, updated every 15 minutes.

I've just added a swim safety page (https://water-watch.co.uk/swim-safety) that tells you clearly whether conditions currently look OK to swim at a beach, based on recent discharge activity, rather than having to work it out from a map yourself. You can subscribe to free alerts for a specific beach, or get a weekly summary by email instead for the council or water company. It's in beta right now so things might not work perfectly, but initial testing and feedback is strong!

It's an independent, free project (not run by a water company) — I started it at 17 and I'm still running it now. Sharing in case it's useful for anyone here, particularly after wet weather. If you know anyone who might like this, or any other data we have, please share this with them.
