Discover parks and gardens in and around Blackpool, from landscaped green spaces to countryside walks a little further afield. Explore Stanley Park, a popular place for a walk and a break from the seafront, or visit Blackpool Model Village for its miniature buildings and gardens. For a longer trip beyond the resort, Beacon Fell Country Park offers countryside scenery in Lancashire’s Forest of Bowland area.
Planning an outdoor visit? Check opening times and admission details where relevant, along with parking, accessibility, path conditions and the weather. Parks and countryside sites vary in terrain and facilities, so choose a destination that suits your group and allow for travel time if you’re heading outside Blackpool. For more outdoor ideas, browse our nature reserves guide, explore Blackpool attractions, or see what’s on in Blackpool this week to plan an evening performance after your day out.
Looking for something different? Browse our local dining guides to find restaurants, cafés and pre-theatre meals to suit your plans.
Most of Blackpool’s theatres are in or near the town centre, so there are plenty of restaurants within a few minutes’ walk. Aim to sit down at least 90 minutes before curtain up, and book ahead on Saturdays and during the Illuminations, when the town gets busy.
Save on your pre-theatre meal with Tastecard. Tastecard members get 2-for-1 meals or money off food at thousands of restaurants across the UK. Search for Blackpool to see which restaurants near the theatre take it before you book your table.
