Every town has its pros + cons but in the main ours suffers from a bad rep. There's so much more to Blackpool than theme parks and boozy weekends, but sadly a lot is overlooked by its fleeting visitors. For example, on Central Promenade you will find the incredible Comedy Carpet, one of the biggest art installations of its kind - a visual "carpet" which celebrates Blackpool's history of comedy + entertainment, created in 2011 by British artist Gordon Young.
The Comedy Carpet is made from over 160,000 individual granite letters, covering 2,200m2 and can be found just in front of Blackpool Tower. It features some of the most famous quotes, catchphrases and statements from the last 100 years, from Monty Pyhton and Alan Partidge to Sean Lock and even Karl Pilkington. I love it down there, it covers a massive space and free to roam as you please. I've never come across anything else like it on my travels.
Made For Your City Competition
For their latest campaign, "Made For Your City", Eastpak are asking us to upload a photograph of themselves with their Easkpak bag, in their favourite place within their city, town or village. To enter the competition just share your image on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter with a short caption explaining your my location, using the #MadeForYourCity hashtag. The entry with the best photograph (decided by Eastpak + size?) will win a Trip for Two to Berlin with £300 spending money!
Eastpak asked me to get involved so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to show you around my favourite place in our town. This is also my competition submission. You can read my guide to Blackpool here. I'd love to hear about some of your favorite places in your hometowns? Will you be entering?
