    You could try a hostel.

    www.travelodge.co.uk click on saver rooms have rooms from about £19 if you book in advance. Was not sure if you meant this weekend or some future weekend. If for the bank holiday, you may struggle to get anything cheap, this last minute.

    Just got back from Blackpool on Sunday,

    07776307668

    Thats the number for Kimber House £21 per person per night B & B, right behind the Manchester pub...

    Its nothing special, but its a Blackpool B & B with a half decent breakfast & the guy that runs it is friendly enough, bought us a pint on arrival and took us out for shots one night! so he got the thumbs up from me!

    You could try the wakefield hotel, behind the manchester pub

    so it's well located

    It has actually now been taken over, by new people.

    2 ladies who are really friendly, there is a late bar there, and a pool table.

    breakfast is self service, so you won't go hungry.

    Yeah he'd be fine about it, there was 10 of us...

    hes also a manchester lad and pretty much everyone who stays there is from manchester, but if you wanna brave it, i'd drive down and park on the front and hit a few of those, though it is bank holiday so you better be careful for them getting booked out!
