Blackpool is full of bargains and discounts if you know where to look for them – We just need a place to “put them all” that’s easy to find and share.
Luckily we’ve set up this page and an accompanying facebook group where local businesses and local people can post and find out about great local offers and discounts that already exist for locals in the town. We don’t mind if you use the group to sell items too – like an online marketplace with a decent admin team.
We would like to encourage our readers to join this group and post about any local discounts or offers you think others might find helpful.
You can find the link to our new group HERE
Coming Soon – The Progress Club
