Nightlife in Blackpool
Blackpool is built for nights out, with the Promenade, the Tower and a town centre full of bars. Here is how to plan one.
The Promenade
The Promenade runs for miles along the sea, with the Tower, the piers and the Pleasure Beach along it. In the evening it is busy, bright and loud, especially in summer and during the Illuminations.

The town centre
Behind the Promenade, Talbot Road, Queen Street and the streets around them hold the town's bars and clubs. They are packed at the weekend, when groups and parties come from all over the North.

The Illuminations
The Illuminations light up the seafront every autumn, and the town is at its busiest while they run. Book everything early if your dates fall in that season.

Getting home safely, and planning around a booking
The tram runs along the seafront, but not all night, and late taxis can be in high demand at the weekend, so book ahead or join the rank early. Check the badge before you get in and share the journey with a friend. If your night is built around an appointment, allow extra time. As everywhere on the site, this guide is for adults aged 18 and over.
