JollyDays Supported Holidays: JollyDays in Blackpool with Colin & Mags

For many of our group it was their first time to visit Blackpool and, although we had mixed weather, everyone said by the end of the week that they would love to return.

We stayed at a beautiful "Leisure Village", just outside Blackpool and not only did we have extremely good accommodation but we were able to experience great entertainment every night.

We ventured into Blackpool most days and spent alot of time enjoying the activities on the piers, including rides on the Dodgems and Big Wheel. When we were not enjoying a lunch on the front it was time for an ice cream. The men enjoyed a challenge at the crazy golf and everyone enjoyed looking around the shops.

The highlight of the week had to be a visit to the Blackpool Ballroom. Many of us not only enjoyed the wonderful atmosphere in the great hall but were able to experience a dance to the organist who was playing the grand "Wurlitzer".

During the week we dined out in a several country pubs, managed a BBQ between the showers and finished the week in a very nice Chinese restaurant.

Most nights we ended up in the village entertainment bar dancing into the early hours and one night we were entertained by a very good female singer, Caroline Lowe, and a male Comedian called Frankie Allen.

Later in the week we timed our customary game of 10-pin bowling to counter the wet weather.

I am sure that many of our holiday-makers will look to re-visit Blackpool again in the future !!!
