Park for £1 in Blackpool this Christmas

Friday, 11 November 2022 13:59

Residents and visitors have the opportunity to park for three hours for just £1 on most of car parks over the festive period.

The offer runs from 18 November to 2 January to coincide with the return of the Christmas By The Sea event which last year attracted record crowds to the Promenade.

Three-hour sessions are limited to one per day after which normal tariffs apply. Filey Place and Talbot Multi-Storey car parks are not included in the offer.

Cllr Mark Smith, Blackpool Council’s Cabinet Member for Business, Enterprise & Job Creation, said: “We are delighted to be able to support the Christmas By The Sea village and wider town centre retail offer by reintroducing the highly-popular £1 parking offer for an extended period in the run-up to Christmas.

“Last year, Blackpool’s unique Christmas offer brought visitors from far and wide and gave our businesses a welcome post-pandemic boost after one of the most difficult trading periods imaginable.

“There is already a fantastic programme of Christmas entertainment lined up from November 18 through to January 2 and we hope this parking offer will further encourage residents to shop in their own town centre this Christmas as well as providing a huge incentive for visitors coming from out-of-town to enjoy free family entertainment.”

*The parking offer can only be redeemed using the PayByPhone system. All you need to do is download the PayByPhone app and register, or call 0800 546 0609.
