Seven bars. Seven flavours. One unforgettable night.

Blackpool’s buzzing nightlife is set to take centre stage on Saturday the 31st May, as Old J’s annual rum crawl hits the town. Following sell-out events in Nottingham and Liverpool, this year the high-energy, interactive rum crawl is heading to Blackpool, bringing fun and flavour, and shining a spotlight the seaside town’s iconic bar scene.

Led by cult rum brand, Old J, the event will take guests on a guided seven-bar tour through Blackpool, with each venue showcasing a different flavour from the Old J range, crafted into a bespoke cocktail for each bar, including Old J Spiced, Pineapple, Cherry, Coconut, Gold, Dark, and Tiki Fire.

What’s Included?

For just £5 for a ticket, guests can expect:

• A guided rum tour of seven of Blackpool’s hottest venues by the Old J brand ambassadors
• Free Old J samples at every stop
• A limited-edition Old J goody bag jam packed with Old J swag
• Access to the end-of-night VIP party with live music at the all new Old J Lounge, Blackpool’s newest cult hideaway
• Themed cocktails available to purchase at every venue

But that’s not all, the crawl will also feature interactive games and entertainment along the route, giving guests even more ways to join the fun. From beer pong to giant connect four, shuffleboard and a coconut shy, each stop along the rum crawl offers something new. There’s even a ring toss with glowing bottles, limbo and cornhole to test your skills between sips.
