This year, we are taking a selection of Sun Bingo players and their plus ones to the seaside town of Blackpool.
The only way to get your tickets to this weekend of spectacular entertainment, incredible fun and great memories is by winning your way there.
All the ways to win are listed below.
However, before you read about how to join us and our celebrity guests at the All Star Hotel, we’ve put together a list of 7 hidden gems in Blackpool that you can check out before checking in.
OUR TOP TIPS FOR THE GLAM ROOM
Blackpool’s hidden gems
- Marton Mere Nature Reserve
On the edge of town is the Marton Mere Nature Reserve. There are over 250 acres of wetlands, which are home to over 2,000 species of wildlife.
Take in views of the lake and surrounding marshlands as you amble along the walking trails.
At this time of year, you might get to see thousands of pink-footed geese returning to the mere for winter.
- Fisher’s Lane
Fisher’s Lane is lined with 18th-century cottages, each of which is a Grade II historic preservation.
The cottages have thatched roofs, chimney stacks and cobbled walls.
GET TO KNOW OUR 10/10 CHAT HOST MEGAN
This is a residential street but visitors can wander up and down to have a look at this great insight into what Blackpool would have looked like in the 1700s.
- Comedy Carpet
The Comedy Carpet is one of the largest pieces of public art ever commissioned in the UK.
Think of it as Lancashire’s answer to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The walkway celebrates the jokes, songs and catchphrases of 850 of Britain’s most beloved comedians and writers.
Some of the writing is just a few centimetres big, while others are nearly a metre.
Get ready to giggle with this free attraction!
- Sir Hiram Maxim’s Captive Flying Machines
While Blackpool’s Pleasure Beach is not a hidden gem, you might not realise the significance of the captive flying machines inside.
The funfair ride was invented by Sir Hiram Maxim in 1904 and is the oldest static amusement ride in Britain, and the only surviving captive flying machine in the world.
It also claims the title of oldest fairground ride in Europe still in continuous use.
- Coral Island
Coral Island is Blackpool’s largest indoor free admission attraction.
It’s a pirate-themed amusement arcade with games, rides, illuminations and a food hall / street food market.
GET TO KNOW OUR CHAT HOST STEVEN
As if that wasn’t enough, the attraction also hosts bingo!
There are live video bingo callers, state-of-the-art touchscreen consoles to play on and jackpot prizes.
The island is open daily and promises an action-packed day full of fun.
- Stanley Park
This Grade II listed park first opened in 1926. It has been voted the best park in the UK twice.
LEARN HOW TO PLAY BLUE WIZARD HERE
That may be why over two million people come to visit each year.
You can explore 390 acres of amazing horticulture, as well as the bandstand, boating lake and Italian gardens.
The park is open every day from dawn to dusk and has nature trails to allow visitors to explore large sections of the park.
- Blackpool Tower Dungeons
While the iconic Blackpool Tower might be known for its beautiful ballroom, it’s less well known for being the site of this hidden gem.
THERE ARE TWO LIVE QUIZZES EVERY WEEK WITH GOLDEN CHIP PRIZES
Located just at the bottom of the tower, the dungeons experience invites visitors to be guided around 10 spooky shows by costumed actors as they tell scary stories from the past.
There are laughs, screams and even a drop ride to enjoy.
