Blackpool Prom

Big news! 📣 Pleasure Beach Resort has just announced that their new ride, Aviktas, will open on May 21! Reaching a staggering 138ft at full swing, the 40-seater pendulum ride will arc 120 degrees over the Blackpool coastline, making it the tallest ride of its kind in the UK. We can’t wait for this!

Fantastic news! Blackpool is officially in the running to become the UK City of Culture 2029 👏 We’ve just been longlisted by the government which means we’re one step closer to hosting a massive, year-long celebration. If we’re successful, it would bring £10m into the town to create incredible arts and culture events for everyone to enjoy, while boosting tourism and creating new jobs.

#JoinMeOnMyWalk The sunshine ☀️ continues in #Lancashire but it was a misty start with lower temperature so only a single #comma sunbathing, but so much colour in the opening flowers! Joyous! 😍 @ThePhotoHour #vitaminN #bloomscrolling

It was a beautiful end to the day here in Blackpool tonight. #Blackpool #sunset #Blackpooltower #Blackpoolbeach #northpier #clouds #visitblackpool

@faisalislam hi worth asking Bt openreach how many managers have been offered and accepted redundancy in the last month due to Rachel Reeves budget
