GO Blackpool is the FREE app for everything happening in Blackpool. Launched by Blackpool BIDs, it brings local news, events, offers and guides together in one place, with content from local businesses and the town centre team.
Whether you live here, are visiting for the day or run a business in town, here is what it can do for you.
For visitors and residents
Find out what’s on. Browse events, shows and activities across the resort, updated in real time. Planning a weekend or deciding what to do tonight, it’s all in one place.
Get exclusive offers. Local businesses post deals on shopping, food, drink and entertainment, including offers only available to app users.
Discover Blackpool’s story. Guides and Tours help you explore the town and learn about its heritage as you go.
Get recommendations and alerts. Tell the app what you’re interested in and it suggests things to do. You can also receive alerts about offers and events nearby as you walk around town.
Have your say. Residents can take part in local surveys, and photograph and report issues they’d like the town centre team to know about. It’s a simple way to help make Blackpool a better place to live and visit.
For businesses
GO Blackpool gives town centre and tourism levy paying businesses a direct way to reach people who are already in Blackpool or planning to be.
Start advertising your business. If you need help setting up or updating your profile, email our team at marketing@blackpoolbid.org. Add your details so locals and visitors can find you.
Promote offers and events. Post deals, menus and events whenever you like, and they appear to app users straight away. It’s a quick way to fill a quiet afternoon or promote a one-off night.
Reach people nearby with GeoAlerts. GeoAlerts send a message to app users as they walk past a location you choose, such as your shop front. Messages only go to people whose interests match, so your offer reaches the right audience at the right moment.
Understand your customers. The app gives you insight into how people engage with your listings and offers, so you can see what works.
Be part of the bigger picture. Your offers sit alongside Blackpool events and campaigns, giving visitors more reasons to come into town and stay longer.
A GO Blackpool business account is free, and it puts your offers and events straight onto the phones of visitors and locals.
