Things to do in Poulton-le-Fylde

If you’re staying at Poulton, it’s always worth keeping in touch with what’s going on by bookmarking the Visit Poulton-le-Fylde website, which is kept up to date with local events, from performances to farmers’ markets. You can find out about the local parks and recreation, as well as what’s happening with the Poulton and Wyre Railway Society, which is working to re-open the line between Poulton and Fleetwood that was closed in 1970.

The main attraction in the immediate area is of course Blackpool. Home to a tower, plenty of thrill rides, vivacious nightlife, miles of golden sands and the occasional episode of Strictly Come Dancing, you probably already know if this sounds like your perfect day out. Poulton is a pleasant place to stay in a hotel or B&B on your trip, as it’s always going to be quieter than the resort itself. It’s also a perfect base camp for heading north to Morecambe and its famous bay, and the historic town of Lancaster is just a short journey away by train or car.

Ways to save

2. Book as a Group

Also, if you book directly through this website or our app, you’ll save even more because we don’t charge a booking fee.

3. Get yourself a Railcard

If you’re a frequent train traveller, you should consider getting a Railcard as you can make big savings on all your off-peak travel. For most people, that means one third off your fare, but for 16 and 17-year-olds, that can be as much as 50% off, so the card more than pays for itself pretty quickly.
