What to expect in Blackpool

Prices in Blackpool are generally higher than in Belfast. It can be tricky to spend Northern Irish banknotes in England, so we recommend waiting until you arrive at Blackpool Airport before visiting the ATM. Pack your party shoes: Blackpool is a very lively destination. The Pleasure Beach area of town is a favourite with young families and hen/stag parties, so if you like to get a quiet night's sleep you might want to consider hiring a car and staying outside of town.
