Bucket & Spade List 2019 A guide to what’s on in Blackpool this Summer

H

ere it is: The ultimate fun guide for those in search of unique, must-do holiday experiences that will create some unforgettable memories.

Not only does the UK’s favourite seaside resort have award-winning beaches, attractions galore, and more shows and entertainment than you can shake a stick of rock at, Blackpool also boasts an extraordinary collection of bucket list ideas!

1. Meet The Breitlings Stand by for the spectacular Blackpool debut of Europe’s premier civilian jet formation team. The world-renowned Breitling team will bring their own jaw-dropping brand of aerial aerobatics to the skies above Blackpool Promenade on both days of the free event on Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 August.

haven’t yet experienced ICON, the UK’s first doublelaunch rollercoaster that opened last season, what are you waiting for?

4. Party With Busted If you have never been to a Blackpool Illuminations Switch-On Party, then you don’t know what you are missing! It’s the biggest event in the resort calendar when 20,000 people let their hair down in a starstudded outdoor concert in the shadow of Blackpool Tower. Taking place on Friday 30 August, the line-up already includes the likes of Busted, Diversity, Sigma, and Nina Nesbitt, with more to come. For details of how you can enter the free wristband ballot or guarantee your place at the party visit: www.visitblackpool.com/ switchon

2. P-P-Pamper A Penguin!

Join the best-dressed residents at Blackpool Zoo they’ve got their dinner jackets on and can’t wait to meet you. Join their keeper with a bucket of fish and head to penguin beach where you’ll be able to feed them and watch them waddle, dive and swim. What’s not to love? This is just one of many unforgettable animal experiences at the zoo.

5. Ride The Tram Train It’s the ultimate tramway experience and you can only do it here in Blackpool. Climb on board one of our amazing heritage trams and relive the glorious art deco era of the 1930s. Better still, take a ride on one of the extraordinary illuminated trams that run during the autumn season. Imagine taking a ride on a tram decked out as a trawler or a Great Western train, bejewelled in thousands of tiny lights? Yep, it’s just as magical as it sounds.

3. Go Coaster Crazy Blackpool Pleasure Beach is likely the most rideintensive theme park on the planet. The question is: How many white-knuckle rides can you stomach in a day? The famous Big One is 25 years old this summer but, trust us, age has not slowed it down! And if you

6. Take A Leap Of Faith Are you bold enough to take a walk of faith at the top of The Blackpool Tower? Step out of the lift 380 feet up and the thrilling SkyWalk awaits you. It’s a 5cm-thick glass platform where you can look out over the Irish Sea and look down on the famous Golden Mile below

12

ADVERTISE - Book Online www.link-mag.co.uk 0800 970 7687 or sales@link-mag.co.uk

you for a viewing experience you will never forget! Oh, and don’t forget to say a happy 125th birthday to The Tower in this special celebratory year.

7. Laugh Yourself Stupid Take a promenade stroll where every step brings a smile and a giggle. The outdoor Comedy Carpet is a celebration of comedy on an extraordinary scale.

There is nothing like the British sense of humour and the Carpet immortalises the jokes, songs and comedy catchphrases of more than a thousand of Britain’s best-loved comedians and writers. We defy you not to laugh!

8. Ride The Rapids Picture the scene: You are on the roof of the Sandcastle Waterpark building on South Promenade.

Just one thing stands between you and the tropical waters below. Well two things actually: The colossal Montazooma mat slide with 360 degree loops and back-to-back turns, or the Aztec Falls, an electrifying pitch-black descent into a giant bowl. The choice is yours….

9. Marvel At The Super-Heroes It’s the ultimate selfie experience – an opportunity to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a whole raft of Marvel comic super-heroes at Blackpool’s Madame Tussauds. Surrounded by debris and destruction, confront the Hulk in a New York street and test (quite literally) if you are strong enough to pick up a cab!

Or if that’s all too much, stand back and admire the superpowers of Spiderman, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and Captain Marvel.

10. Do Country By The Sea Blackpool’s iconic Winter Gardens might be a few thousand miles from Nashville, Tennessee, but the autumn of 2019 will bring the sweet sounds of the inaugural British Country Music Festival to the seaside.

Ward Thomas, Catherine McGrath and Sarah Darling will headline an impressive line-up of more than 100 artists over the weekend of September 13-15. Don’t forget to pack the cowboy boots and rhinestones.

11. Sleep With The Fishes Experience a night of oceanic slumber with sharks and tropical fish at a sea-bed sleep over in Blackpool’s Sea Life centre. Get a group of friends together, pack your sleeping bags and enjoy the most incredible night beneath the ocean. Or, if you dare, enjoy your own exhilarating Jaws-style adventure when you come face to face with more than a dozen sharks.

12. Ride The Lights Get ready for an electrifying cycle ride under Blackpool’s world-famous Illuminations. Head for the seafront on Tuesday 27 August and you can join thousands of riders as they travel along the Promenade for a sneak preview of the 2019 Lights in a totally traffic-free environment. This is bike riding – but not as you know it!

Trinity needs furniture donations

T

rinity Hospice is in desperate need of donations of furniture for its charity shops. The hospice for the Fylde coast sells furniture from some of its 15 shops, including its Donation Centre on Talbot Road, Blackpool.

But donations of larger items have dwindled, and the charity’s retail boss is today calling on the community to help.

Paul Guest, Head of Retail for Trinity Hospice, said: “We have some fantastic supporters here on the Fylde coast who donate some wonderful things for us to sell in our shops, and of course we have our regular customers who come in to grab a bargain and help us with vital income for Trinity.

“We have noticed a drop in the number of people donating furniture, though we will always have people who want to buy these larger items. We are asking everyone to consider donating their furniture to Trinity Hospice, so that we can raise even more money to support everyone who needs expert palliative and end-of-life care locally.

“Maybe you’ve recently redecorated and have furniture that no longer fits in your colour scheme, or maybe you’ve had something you’ve wanted to get rid of for a while, but you just don’t know how.

28

“As long as your furniture is fire safe if it’s upholstered, and is in good condition, we want it.”

The hospice shops contribute an impressive £400,000 to Trinity Hospice, which each year costs £9 million to run.

The hospice is able to collect large donations, or they can be dropped off at the Donation Centre. For more information and to book a collection, visit www. trinityhospice.co.uk/support-us/our-shops.
