Trades Hotel - Blackpool

[Screwtop]

Anyone know if Trades Hotel is open and still has its  'Room to Roam' policy?  I fancy spending a weekend somewhere I don't have to get dressed or go far to find holes to unload in.

Ah, Trades. The memories I have of that place. Back in the day it was awesome. I haven’t been since before the pandemic and since I discovered the far superior Prince Albert Hotel (the PA) round the corner. But in truth Trades had been, er, trading on its notorious past for a long time before Covid and always seemed to have declined a tad more with each subsequent visit. That said, it’s always had a sleazy, dirty piquancy to it and I doubt (though cannot confirm) the open door policy has changed.

Let me know when you’ll be there stud and I’ll be there too, hole at the ready for that big raw cock.

I'll be in Blackpool this weekend, planning to spemd most of Saturday afternoon at W3 sauna but may try this place afterwards if they let non guests in. I'd love you to fill my hole 😈

The Prince Albert (mentioned above) actually has bareback weekends.

I ALSO would love that cock up me sometime. Do you ever get to Brighton?

I’ve just checked that out - going to give that a go this year!

Probably 20 years since I my only gay trip to Blackpool. Imagine venues, men, licensing have all changed.
But like everyone I'd be interested if visitors can join in, What's the rest of local scene/facilities/cruising like?

Yes, the PA is a great venue. But its “specialist” weekends are booked out months in advance. Unsurprisingly…

It's a shame you can't really book a single room per se. Still, the way they do it obviously works, so good for them. Maybe I'll find someone to go away with sometime and share a room.

Quite like the sound of being allocated a room mate - could be ‘interesting’!

That is true. I’ve travelled alone there, but it gets pricey. But it’s been worth it.

I wouldn’t be sure of that. I went to Blackpool regularly for 20 years and each visit I swear I saw the same guys, sitting on the same stools in the same bars, grumbling into their drinks about the same things. They were just a bit greyer each time. Mind you, so was I!
But I love Blackpool. It’s common. Vulgar. Blousy. And like a cheap tart bladdered on Aldi Prosecco. What’s not to like?

Checked out the PAHorsefair weekends for 2023 and there's only space left for tops.

Looks good though. Maybe next year.
