Premier Inn are currently offering rooms for £29 a night in Preston which is around 15-20 minute drive from the centre of Blackpool, hotels in Blackpool are £65+.  I am not organising a coach this time round, it will be a case of making your own way there and booking your own hotels if you wish to stay over.  You can find rooms by visiting http://www.premierinn.com/ and put Blackpool in your search and scroll down and you will see the Preston availability.  Book sooner rather than later.
