What’s on in and around Blackpool
Whilst you stay with us at Hotel Claytou, you will no doubt want to experience the vast array of entertainment and leisure on offer in and around Blackpool. We have detailed a few of our favourites. Also, you will find links to diaries of events taking place in the town.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort
If you’re an adrenalin junkie, then this is by far the best place in Blackpool for you. Initially opened in 1896, Pleasure Beach Resort (as it is now known) boosts some record-breaking thrill rides.
Reclaimed from the sound dunes of South Promenade, the resort contains fun and thrills for all the family. Walt Disney visited the Pleasure Beach in the 50’s and took inspiration when developing Walt Disney World in America. He became a dear friend of the Thompson family who still own the pleasure beach to this day.
Catch a show at the Opera House
The Opera House and Winter Gardens is one of the largest theatres in the UK. It hosts world-class shows and concerts and the stage has been the home to some of the biggest names in showbusiness. Frank Sinatra, the Beatles
