Blackpool resident here lol

yeah the tower isn't due to be finished til the summer sorry
the prom is also being dug up and redone at the moment and again not due to complete til summer.

The pleasure beach has an offer running through march for cheaper tickets

if you know anyone in Blackpool you could go to the zoo for half price as they are running half price for residents through march.

There are plenty of buses to get you around if you need to get from one side of town to the other.

Juts to thank everyone for all their help, we had a fantastic time... the "building site" was a bit of a pain in the backside... We cycled from the "mirror Ball" to Cleveleys and back on friday.. (well, I gave up when we arrived the shops, Id had enough by then!!!!!!) so we dumped the bikes and walked back to the Pleasure beach totel...
We went to the funny girls on Friday night, which was again, fantastic..
saturday we just roamed the town and went into the sea centre... wow... I loved it.
saturday night, we joined up with our Welsh hosts in the Gresham hotel...

We hope to go back when the building site is finished so we can go up the tower..

Loved it, thank you all very much :beer::beer::beer:
