Blackpool, Lancashire Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• RampCity(indoor park)...email me for more info craigt@rock.com
• The thornton rail bridge is where we go usually. good for and hanging out. U no if uv bin there. the artwork is superb.

• The Clock Tower In Stanley Park About 20m off the skatepark
• skaters can hook up with Craig T for a daytime sk8 tour by phoning (07968688062)
• Nimrod's bedroom; this most relaxing venue, boasts on suite pipes and papers, plus some of the most tasteful decor ever seen in this most tasteful of towns. Entrance is by invitation only, but if you come down to B'pool and skate the banny on a saturday afternoon, an uplifting evening can be aranged. The usual suspects frequent this pleasure palace:Nimrod, Nige, Ted, Dave, Steve,etc. However, a policy of B.Y.O. is firmly (ish) in place, but the latest 411 normally suffices. S.G.
• Crossland Road Park. Stanley Park Sk8 Park. South Pier. Mereside shops.
• Just the Town Centre or the Pleasure Beach in the summer
• the spar on daggers hall lane
• Stanley SK8 Park coz the bandstand sucks when it's windy !

• West Coast Rock Caf, the corner table.

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.

You can use the add an event form to tell us about events happening in Blackpool.
