Why would you want to take your new girlfriend to a stripclub?

Either way, have fun! I love Blackpool

i think you bneed to stay up near the north pier.

there are some big/expensive hotels jus tpast there so may do you.

Tiff, when i was seeing a friend of Nicole and Stu's she took me to an italien in the centre that was really nice - small and intimate. That is right in the centre, im sure Stu will be able to tell you what it's called as i can't remember. A few miles from blackpool is Lytham St Anne's. Again i went there - a place called Joya i think, which was a cut above blackpool.

As for a hotel, blackpool has a Hilton - that's where i'd go, as the others are pretty grotty. Nicole is the best person to advise as she works in the industry.

Good Luck

Evening Tiff, glad to hear your feeling up to a night out and hopefully you will be able to brush recent events aside for 48hrs eh mate?

Big blue is a big hotel, should be very good as its the officiall BPB hotel for thiose with a few quid to spend.

The Hilton is of course the place to be, but if its full its full, so thats not an option for you.

We have Travel inns of course... not Hiltons, but i like them as you know exactly what you will be getting.

Clubs, strip clubs, bars, Dan and I are your men. We have all the advice you will ever need in that department. hell, we could even show you round.

Cheers Chaps

Like you said Stu.....if the Hiltons full then thats that. I think The Big Blue looks the next best thing as the reviews are very good

Basically i want to go out for a nice evening meal on Saturday followed by a few nice pubs and maybe onto a good club...baring in mind it is me and the new gaffer i guess a hard dance club is out the question

If you could give me a few pointers for places to go and places to go during the day that would be great

Heading up Friday evening and staying till Sunday

During the day, use blackpool for its qualities, arcades, shopping, nice cafes, amusements, fairgrounds, bear grab machines etc etc.

In the evening I would suggest Soul Suite, which is opposite Walkabout, a very good place to go if you are out as a couple.

can only sugest the devre, `herons reach`, its the best in blackpool! stay there every time.

the facilitys are top quality, pool, sauna, steam, gym, 18 hole golf course, driving range,

right the price about 140 to 180 per night! with breakfast and dinner,

but check out www.laterooms.com where it can be had at about 90 per night with breakfast only, just to add the best breakfast you've ever had!

oh and its about 6/7 for a cab to syndicate! or town centre

The De Vere is the best hotel in Blackpool by far with amazing facilities.

For that kind of money, well worth a stay.


So is DirtyDonnas truck stop with extras from a 5er and rooms from £9.BARGAIN.

Big Blue is a nice place Tiffer, and its away from the RifRaf scufflers in Central Blackpool.

Fancy meeting up for a swift beer or is it just A You and the Lady weekend pal? No offence taken if so.. just done the same ourselves last weekend.
