    You were talking about hotel entertainment earlier - what about the Cliffs? I was always taken there and loved it as a kid, and I'm pretty sure you don't have to be staying there to see it. There was something different every night - cabaret, stand-up, games - but it was always family-friendly.

    Thats another option you see, im just not sure where. A lot of hotels (esp down by the north pier) have entertainment on. Just hoping they accept none residents.

    Any ideas. Any takers
  • Having visited Blackpool for the first time as a Family (2 girls 6 + 11) last July (2012), I found enough places to keep us going.

    All depends what your looking for I suppose.

    Most places will start to wind down around 11pm I noticed that but come the end of July they are open later.

    As earlier posts say. The 3 piers all have entertainment on Laughing Donkey on South Pier

    Central last year had Joni Pill from 7pm - 11pm but this year i noticed that they have someone else on Sat and Sun and are charging to get in, and it wasn't cheap if I remember correctly.


    Needless to say I wont be going there this year. The Tower Ballroom has a family bar Tue and Wed in July but more often after 31st July, when us Scottish are home LOL.

    The Manchester Bar has a family bar upstairs and we found this ideal with a soft play area for really young kids. Food was reasonable and prices too. We have booked the Sands Legends Show also again its more expense but hope its a good nights entertainment, by rivews it should be.

    Hope this helps

    I added links but they made me romove them in case I was spamming
