The last time the Royal Variet Performance was in Blackpool was way back in 1955 when performing were George Formby, Morcombe and Wise along with Arthur Askey.

Blackpool has come along way since those days however still offers some of the best facilities to all superstars that will be performing and for the most important people. (The audience) Blackpool must be the best family location in Britain. Great valuse accommodation, the World famous Pleasure Beach Resort, miles and miles of beautiful sandy Beaches (however in December it will be a little chilly)

This years show will be screened on ITV and promised that the show will be the best ever remain to be seen however with Diversity dancing and the hyped up guest list I am sure we will not be disappointed.  To ensure you get the hotel of your choice book early to avoid disappointment.

The walk way from the North Shore to Bispham

Bring the kids to the seaside at Blackpool and they will have a ball:

The view towards Blackpool and our hotel from out on the beach of the North Shore as you can see is quite exhilarating and offers many a revitalizing walk away from all the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

North Shore Promenade Blackpool

The promenade stretches for many miles and the section between our hotel and the beach is possibly the best on offer. Traveling in the opposite direction to Blackpool Tower Bispham is a mere one mile stroll with Cleveleys a further two miles or so. For those of you who would like a real stroll on a beautiful day then Fleetwood with its Freeport village and the fresh fish markets are only a further few miles down the coast line. As I say to all our guests walk as far as you can first along the prom and when you feel you can walk no more then just jump on a tram and it stops at the end of our road.

The North shore of Blackpool has some of the best views throughout the whole of Blackpool all without the Stag and Hen culture that has gripped most of blackpool these days. Feel relaxed and restassured that the North Shore is a wonderful place to stay for all ages. Families and friends are most welcome to our B&B hotel where you will arrive as a guest and leave as a friend.

The George Formby Society congregates in Blackpool four times a year in remembrance of a British Icon of yester- year and a man who sang cheeky songs while playing his Ukulele, looking boyish, mischievous and unfazed. A Lancashire Lad born and bred George was a Black and White TV star who wowed millions across the world. George himself played Blackpool and below is his song “With me little Stick of Blackpool Rock.”

The New Kent Hotel would like to offer a very warm welcome to visitors from the George Formby Society.

Please bring your favorite DVDs and enjoy them in our warm spacious lounge on our 32″ Plasma TV. The lounge is fully licensed serving sandwiches, snacks, hot and cold drinks for all the family.

I personally remember watching George Formby films with my Nanny Smith when I was a small boy as I think he was one of the biggest stars during my Nanny Smith’s younger days. My favorite song is “When I am cleaning windows” which always brings back memories I have of my childhood and of my Mothers Mum me Nan.

The New Kent Blackpool would be delighted to be the hosts of any George Formby conference goers and welcome anybody who can play a Ukulele.

So how does one choose whether to stay in a B&B or a more commercial establishment? Blackpool has been built its reputation on a warm friendly welcome, traditional home cooked cuisine from people who actually own and operate the B&B hotels themselves. This I do believe gives the Blackpool B&B hotelier a massive advantage over any commercially run business, it is more personal and satisfying.

Our Blackpool B&B Hotel versus a Travel lodge?

There are many advantages in staying in our hotel or other local B&B’s in the North Shore rather than any sort of travel lodge or travel Inn. Not all hotels are the same however we feel our Blackpool Hotel out performs a travel lodge or Inn by the following reasons:

Hospitality
Warmth
Friendliness
Cleanliness

A fresh and hearty breakfast (included in the room rate)
A more welcoming price that is definitely Value for money
FREE Internet access

How do we know we are offering our service far better than a Globalized Conglomerate are able? Well it is not everyday you will see the owner of the company (ME) being supervised by the MD’s (my mother and wife!). One can not say that about any conglomerate that I have ever known….

Our rooms are clean, fresh, compact (you could not really have a game of football with your mate using our pillows) and they are very homely and relaxing.

New Kent Blackpool

The Punk Rebellion Festival Blackpool this year takes place 5th August 2009 – 8th August 2010.

Talk about letting your hair down and relaxing well the Punk Festival will be back again this year and many will be doing exactly the opposite. Parents have always told us that in our day “We would never do that” well the parents of today and possibly a few Grand parents certainly DID! Spikey hair, ripped clothes and Pogoing! today’s youth are quite tame in comparison possibly.

Sticking two fingers up at society and the establishment Punk was an urban street culture that was denounced by the press and many of the peers at the time. However strangely enough Punk changed the face of music like no other.

To inquire about tickets for this event please visit the Punk Rebellion website or if you wish to just browse available tickets please use our Ticket Master search below.
