A Local’s Guide to the Best Things to Do in Blackpool This Winter

 Blackpool is a city of iconic attractions, but there are plenty of lesser-known spots that deserve your attention this winter. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, here’s a guide to the top things to do in Blackpool that will make your trip memorable – plus, find out why Bluewaters Hotel is the perfect base for your Blackpool adventure.


1. The Blackpool Tower: More Than Just a View

While many visitors flock to the Blackpool Tower for its breathtaking views, did you know there are several experiences within the tower itself? Take a trip to the Tower Ballroom and experience the magic of a dance hall that has welcomed many famous faces. Or, explore the Tower Dungeon for a mix of history and thrills.


2. Take a Stroll Along the Promenade to St. Anne’s

While Blackpool’s famous promenade is known for its attractions, the stretch towards St. Anne’s is a peaceful walk where you can enjoy the calm of the sea and views of the Fylde Coast. It’s a great way to escape the crowds and experience the quieter side of Blackpool.


3. Blackpool’s Winter Gardens: Enjoy a Show or Two

The Winter Gardens is an iconic venue that hosts everything from concerts to theatre shows and live performances. This winter, check out the variety of shows available, including pantomimes, comedy acts, and live music events that will keep you entertained all season long.


4. Explore the Hidden Cafes and Bars of Blackpool

Blackpool isn’t just about the beach; it also has a vibrant café culture. From quirky coffee shops to hidden cocktail bars, explore some of Blackpool’s best-kept secrets. Try The Velvet Coaster, a retro-inspired bar with a welcoming vibe, or Coffee and Cake, a cute spot for a warm drink after a winter walk along the beach.


Prefer to stay indoors? Why not head down to our on-site bar and restaurant at Bluewaters Hotel and enjoy the best views Blackpool has to offer from the comfort of your lush, warm hotel. Whether you’re sipping on a cocktail or indulging in a delicious meal, you’ll be treated to panoramic views of the coast, all while staying cosy and relaxed.


Enjoy comfortable rooms, a welcoming atmosphere, and, of course, the best views of the coast – all while being just moments away from everything Blackpool has to offer.
