Col & The Gang: The Jolly Boy’s Outing Returns

Blackpool Beach

The so-called traditional Jolly Boys’ Outing, whereby all the atwsolutions® regulars at Wenlock road Shoreditch Work Hub go on an annual coach trip (“beano”) to the seaside town of Blackpool on the Fylde coast is also approaching fast.

Dust off your glad rags and your kiss me quick hat ready to trip the light fantastic at the Tower Ball room or take in a show at the North pier, as we will be putting out our stall at the Blackpool Winter Gardens for Sight Village (North West) on April 9th 2024, and whereas we won’t have any dodgy beta max video recorders or non-excise paid French plonk to be getting shot of, we certainly will have the accustomed patter around Access to Work and how to some it can seem as equally bent and unfit for purpose.

Rose Woodhall of Sight Village says “I am delighted to announce our upcoming event on 9th April 2024 at the newly selected venue in the North West – the historic Winter Gardens in Blackpool, Lancashire, boasting a rich history dating back to 1878.

The Winter Gardens is strategically situated, being both a spacious venue and easily accessible, as the event will be held in the exhibition centre located on the ground floor level. Within Winter Gardens, they have a café that will be serving hot/cold food and drinks. As well, we are located just a brief 3-minute stroll from the Promenade and Blackpool Tower and surrounded by various shops and eateries, serving as the perfect backdrop for the upcoming Sight Village event!

Situated in the heart of the UK on the North West coast of England, Blackpool is conveniently reachable within a three-hour commute from most major cities. Access by car is straightforward, with the M6 motorway directly connecting to the M55 exit at junction 4, leading into Central Blackpool. For those using sat nav, the postcode FY1 4JR will guide you accurately.

While navigating Central Blackpool, please be mindful of the one-way systems and pedestrianised areas. Consider utilising the well-signposted tourist car parks near the Promenade or the two car parks closer to the Winter Gardens.

Given the limited spaces available at this event, we encourage you to complete your booking that is attached promptly, to secure your spot and avoid any disappointment.
