Blackpool: Strictly Adults Only

Blackpool Tower © Nickie O'Hara 2013
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!

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
