TS Blackpool Summer Spectacular: Saturday, 29th July 2017

[Rob]

Just a reminder for everyone - don't forget to book your wristbands!

They are £22 online if you book 10 days or more in advance; tomorrow will be the last day to get them before they rise to £24.

Cheers Rob, booked mine this morning.

Can anyone recommend anywhere to park?

Can anyone recommend anywhere to park?

A car park

For free, many of the side streets either around the north entrance, but they usually fill up quick, or the old south entrance; They tend to be good to park on but you'd have to walk to the entrance.

If you want to pay then there's multiple car parks around the park.

 

[rob666]

For free parking there are a number of roads just behind the prom south of the Beach, or use Lytham Rd, which is a five minute walk to the Beach.
The park also has half a dozen car parks dotted around the perimiter, current all day charge around a tenner.
Or you could take the train and drink more beer.
Edit, sorry Spike, you beat me by seconds!

Where is Noah’s Ark where people are meeting Saturday ?
I know nothing

 

[DiogoJ42]

It's the SNBO fun house above the park entrance, that no one can get to.

.... So meet outside the park entrance.

 

[bluesonichd]

Will have to find park entrance then.
First time at Plesure Beach

That is the Noahs Ark Entrance.

Very much doubt we will be there for opening, probably 11-12 will call someone when we get there.

It's likely to be busy as it's a late close, so I'll be aiming to arrive well before opening to collect my wristband.

 

[bluesonichd]

Where do you collect wristbands from. I prebooked. Does it have to be tomorrow I'm here already.
Waiting in the rain

 

[John]

Wristband collection is from the casino building opposite the main entrance, there'll be a maze of tensa barriers set up in the car park behind it

Will it be that bad ? Nooo ? Really ?

 

[rob666]

Will be looking out for you all in the evening, can't make it earlier in the day.
And it probably will be bad, summer holiday Saturday.

 

[DiogoJ42]

Well, I think that all went reasonably well.

 

[Ted]

Fantastic meet! Pleasure Beach felt way better than I thought it was and I really loved the sosche up there, which boosts me with confidence since I think I'm getting better at it =) Thanks all for being your awesome selves! =D
