More Updating Projects

have been going on in the last few days.  We started to redecorate and move around some furniture in 3 of our bedrooms.  One of them is now finished (bar the headboard needing re-attached) and the second is underway.  We are also refitting a new shower unit to one of the first floor bedrooms.  We seem to have had nothing but problems with it over the last year and so now we have a quiet week it is getting a new shower tray, having new taps and shower head, the walls are being re-plastered and cladded and fingers crossed the moved pipework will give us no more issues!  There is certainly always something needing to be seen to in a hotel with it's almost constant use.  Hopefully we manage to stay on top of it as best we can without a resident Mr (or Mrs) Fix-It-All!
Our lovely Enderby brass band guests left on Sunday after the competition.  This coming weekend there is the Electric Garden Festival held at the Beat club in the town centre.  We are a featured accommodation on the website so if you have tickets or are planning to get some, we still have some rooms left for the weekend.  If you like Progressive Rock then this is the newest Festival for you.
The Dance Festival starts on 26 May and this is the 86th year it has been held!  At least 60 countries were represented last year and this year is bound to be the same.  Blackpool certainly has a good reputation for Ballroom and Latin dancing as there are 5 Festivals held here throughout the year.  We have previously had a lot of champions stay with us but lately we've had more people involved behind the scenes - dressmakers, hairdressers, stall holders and so on.  
We are getting a lot busier for the Punk Festival held in August.  All our singles are taken so we have only doubles, twins and family rooms left.  There is an extensive list of bands performing between 4-7 August and tickets for the event are still available from the site.  If you book now for the Rebellion event you will qualify for an Early Bird discount on our online booking page, saving you 10%!
We'll post some photos of our updated rooms as soon as we can.  Unfortunately the weather has been a bit miserable the last couple of days so the light isn't so great for photos.
