Blackpool: Strictly Adults Only

Many of us have fond memories of childhood holidays and day trips to Blackpool, but did you know there’s a darker side of Blackpool that’s strictly adult’s only? If you've got a hen or stag do to plan, or just fancy getting a group together for a weekend away, Blackpool’s a brilliant choice of destination for adults only get-togethers. Here are some ideas for your itinerary:

Themepark Thrills

The Pleasure Beach is a great place to spend a day in Blackpool, whatever your age, and there are plenty of thrill rides to get the adrenaline pumping for an adults only group. Tick the Big One, over-water inverted coaster Infusion, Revolution, Wild Mouse and Valhalla off your list, for a thrill-packed day out.

Ken Webster

This hilarious comedy/hypnotist show is billed as XXX rated, adults only – with the note ‘if easily offended stay away!’ It’s safe to say that you should expect rude, crude and outrageously funny behaviour from this hypnotist. Catch the show at the Pleasure Beach every Saturday at 8pm from 19 Apr till 8 Nov.

Hit the Clubs

Blackpool is a clubber’s paradise, with some amazing nightclubs to choose from. Sanuk is a five room Thai style club, Rumours & Hush is an upmarket favourite playing chart, dance and party anthems, and the Syndicate Superclub is HUGE with a capacity of 5000. Whether you want big name DJ’s, fun pubs or to party like a VIP, there’s a club to suit in Blackpool.

Funny Girls

Surely the best drag act in the north, Funny Girls shouldn’t be missed when in Blackpool. Disco mixed with dance mixed with comedy, it’s a brilliant tongue in cheek cabaret show that will have you laughing, singing and stomping along.

VIVA Cabaret

Another great cabaret, VIVA is the number one choice if drag acts aren’t your cup of tea. Brilliant singers, sexy dancers and crude comedy make this an amazing night out on the Blackpool prom.

Adrenaline Zone

If you’re feeling fearless then head to the Adrenaline Zone on the South Pier. Here you can take flight on the Skycoaster, make your head spin on the Skyscreamer, or hang upside down on the Gyro Loop. You’ll be daring each other to brave the lot!

Pasaje del Terror

A trip through the Pasaje del Terror will ramp your Blackpool adults only experience up a notch from scary to completely terrifying! No one knows exactly what awaits them in the Pasaje del Terror – the only guarantee is that you’ll come out screaming!

Blackpool Tower Eye

For a gentler scare, the Blackpool Tower Eye gives great views of the promenade and out to sea. Stand on the reinforced glass and look down if you dare!

Blackpool FC

If you’re a group of football fans then plan your trip around the matches at Blackpool FC. Click here to book the hotel opposite the grounds for a hassle-free place to stay.

Add extra spice and naughtiness to those strictly adults only weekenders – choose Blackpool!
