Pedal the Prom party bus returns to Blackpool for hen dos, stag parties, birthdays and more

The eye-catching pedal bus is back with karaoke party tours and pub crawls hitting the Prom from February.

Michelle Hatfield-Roberts, who runs the tours, said: “We are so excited to return in 2023 to host our new and existing customers. We all get such a buzz from the people on the street waving and singing along as we pass!

"Bring on 2023 and a fun year on Blackpool Promenade!”

What is Pedal the Prom?

Pedal the Prom provides party tours along Blackpool Prom for 8-16 people onboard a customised ‘pedal bus’.

You book the bus and driver for 1-3 hours and enjoy a fun karaoke singalong and pub crawl along the Prom.

It's been a big hit in Blackpool and is always popular with hen and stag parties, birthdays, and even team bonding events.

The bike – an eye catcher when riding along the prom – is also available for promotions with advertising space on the rear of the vehicle.

Can you drink onboard and bring your own booze?

Yes! You can bring cans of booze onboard but no glass bottles. And alcohol will be limited to two drinks per person.

Remember, there is strictly no alcohol permitted on the Promenade or streets of Blackpool, so open cans must stay on the bus.

Also, be warned. If you arrive drunk you may not be allowed onboard.

Where will it take us?

The pub crawl tours will pick your private party up from Queens Hotel in South Shore.

You will then ride 1.7 miles along the Prom, stopping off at the most popular bars for around 15 minutes at a time before reaching North Pier.

You will then turn around and return to the Queen’s Hotel in South Shore.

The experienced driver will be on hand to recommend bars, attractions or restaurants.
