Blackpool Pleasure Beach has just launched the 2021 Platinum Pass which offers visitors unlimited access to the park throughout the year for just £110.

You are invited to join the season pass platinum club at “the UK’s most ride-intensive theme park”.

Platinum Pass holders for 2021 can enjoy all of the rides at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, as well as access to the 12 amazing attractions at Nickelodeon Land too. 

The discounted £110 pass – which would usually cost £189.60 – is only available to take advantage of until 31st October 2020, but with a huge £79+ saving, thrill-seekers will gain full access to the park everyday of next year’s season, which is a huge 212 days from February all the way through to closure on 7th November 2021.

At a time when many families are changing holiday plans and looking to book more breaks and staycations in the UK, Blackpool Pleasure Beach has launched this offer in an attempt to provide a fun and safe destination to visit, all year round.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach is home to some of Britain’s most popular rides.

This includes the UK’s first double launch rollercoaster ICON, which opened in May 2018. It catapults riders forward with the same acceleration as a Formula One racing car and promises to test nerves and get hearts racing by cutting through other classics rides at the park, such as The Big One, Steeplechase and Big Dipper.

The park is also home to the UK’s only Nickelodeon Land.

With 12 rides that the whole family can enjoy – including an exhilarating ride on classic wooden coaster Nick Streak and a whirl on SpongeBob’s Splash Bash – little ones can meet their favourite Nick characters and be entertained by performances by Team Nick. 

Since reopening with new COVID-secure protocols and procedures in place, Blackpool Pleasure Beach has offered a safe, outdoor space for all of the family to enjoy.

IKEA is hosting a massive pyjama day at stores across the UK this weekend, and it sounds like the perfect excuse for a lazy day.

Don’t you just wish it was socially acceptable to wear your pyjamas in public sometimes?

Well now you can actually get away with it for once, as Swedish furniture retailer IKEA is hosting one of the most unique shopping experiences there is this weekend, and is inviting customers to ditch their daywear and don their favourite PJs instead.

Promising to be “a fun day out for all the family”, IKEA’s Pyjama Day is the perfect opportunity to shop for all your home needs in the most comfortable attire imaginable.

In a move that’s sure to be a bit of a dream come true for lazy Mancs, all late risers and loungewear lovers can get themselves down to either the Ashton or Warrington IKEA stores to make the most of all the cosy action.

Anyone signed up to be an ‘IKEA Family’ member who visits their local store wearing pyjamas this weekend can help themselves to a free breakfast of either a small cooked Full English or a breakfast roll, with veggie and vegan options available, or any children’s breakfast for those under 16.

That’s not all either, as pyjama-clad shoppers will also be able to snag an exclusive £15 discount when they spend £50 or more in-store on the same day.

If all of that wasn’t enough to get you down there as it is, there’s also set to be a special visit from BJÖRN bear in the restaurant for little ones, as well as loads of other free events in stores nationwide to get yourselves stuck into.

To bag your free breakfast and £15 discount, you just need to become an ‘IKEA Family’ member first by signing up for free on the IKEA website to unlock access to a range of exclusive deals and benefits, as well as up to 20% off on IKEA ‘Sleep Essentials’ until Monday 30 September.

To turn up in your PJs though? That’s open to all.

Tasty toasties, cakes, seasonal drinks, and more all feature on the new 2024 autumn menus at a handful of popular high street coffee shop chains.

As summer draws to a close and the colder months edge closer, it’s not uncommon the high street’s best-loved coffee shop chains to unveil their limited-edition autumn menus around this time to help get us in the spirit.

Thankfully, Costa, Greggs, Starbucks, and Pret have all delivered so far.

Chicken and chorizo paninis, hog roast toasties, salt beef baguettes, salted caramel chocolate cakes, stem ginger cookies, and pumpkin spice doughnuts are just a selection of the mouthwatering foodie treats forming part of the new seasonal menus that you’ll soon be able to tuck into at each of the chains.

And of course, what would autumn be without pumpkin spice lattes? The cult-classic drink is now on the menu in both hot and cold format at Greggs, Pret, and its original home, Starbucks.

Over at Costa, there’s a wide range of new items having been added to the lineup for the next couple of months, with some of the highlights being the Brie, Bacon, and Chilli Jam Panini, the Chilli Beef and Cheddar Toastie, a Sticky Pecan Mini Loaf, and a spooky iced gingerbread ghost biscuit, perfect for little ones or as a sweet snack.

Alongside the newbies, Costa’s fan-favourite Hog Roast Toastie, Roast Chicken and Bacon Sandwich, and Chocolate and Salted Caramel Cake will also be returning, as will the massively-popular Maple Hazel drinks range.

At Greggs, there’s a stunning selection of pumpkin spice treats to choose from, including the Pumpkin Spice Doughnut and classic Pumpkin Spice Latte, as well as other seasonal hot drinks like the Orange Mocha and Orange Hot Chocolate, and the much-loved Salted Caramel Latte, while when it comes to savoury options, there’s a new Mexican Bean and Spicy Cheese Flatbread, and an All-Day Breakfast Baguette to see you through the day.

Pret has also joined the pumpkin spice and salted caramel bandwagon for another year, with both lattes returning yet again, but some of the stand-out new additions to its menu include the Mushroom Florentine Toastie, the Beef & Horseradish Baguette, the Cinnamon Crown, and Spiced Apple & Pecan Muffin.

Starbucks is yet to fully unveil its new autumn menu, but is expected to do so very soon so make sure to keep your eyes peeled.

However, what we do know is that the original Pumpkin Spice Latte is already back in all its glory.
