Probably a bit late to get them, but your Tesco vouchers have lots of offers for Blackpool - Tower, Zoo, Pleasure Beach etc.

Taking the tram is a great way of seeing the front without freezing to death.

If your daughter likes being scared to death, take her on the Tower's 'walk of faith'. :eek:

Another place to get warm free is the big glass house in Stanley Park, near the zoo. There's also a lovely big lake for feeding the ducks.

Have lots of fun, kiss me quick hats are still a necessary accessory and eat lots of rock. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

The trams aren't running at present. Blackpool Borough Council are doing major works along the tram lines and busses are temporarily replacing the tram service. Consequently traffic along the prom is heavy so allow extra time for your journeys.

on waterloo road lower end by the prom there is some nice little cafes that does good food at a cheap price and big portions too

the pleasure beach is open at weekends till march and u may have seen the ads on tv telling you u can get wristbands for £16 but if you go on the blackpool pleasure beach website you can get an extra £5 off. its worth remembering this as it is cheaper to get tickets of there all year round -but you have to book them 12 hours in advance xx xx

yes to the amounts and IIRC they are valid for 6 months. Why get them now as vouchers only take a couple of days to arrive.

just wondering, do you buy the clubcard vouchers, say if i wanted two adult tickets which are £7 each do i buy the vouchers for £14 or use clubcard points or what? thanks
