The Blackpool Air Show on Saturday, 9th and Sunday, 10th August promises spectacular aerial displays along the seafront. While you’re here, why not explore Blackpool Town Centre and enjoy everything it has to offer?
Start your day with breakfast at Quilligan’s Café Bar or grab a quick coffee from nearby Starbucks. For food, Abingdon Street Market serves a wide range of dishes to satisfy the whole family, from pizza and burgers to Mexican, Japanese, and more. You’ll also find great coffee, cocktails, and unique local stalls. Other favourites include Bella Italia, Michael Wan’s Wok Inn, and Marco’s New York Italian.
After the show, unwind with drinks at Dirty Blondes or Common Bar and Kitchen. For real ale, head to Rhythm and Brew Room, and for live music, check out Bootleg Social.
