Unfortunately the original driver we had booked to take us to MIA from a different company had an issue with his clutch and he organised John from JLF to pick us up. I cannot rate this service better, John was very punctual, courteous and helpful. A very professional outfit from start to finish. Thank you for helping us out at such short notice.

This is my go to airsoft site when i want to go out and fling plastic at other human beings. Its a well run site that offers a wide variety of games each time i go. They started to offer hot food this year which is an added bonus on those cold days. Its by far the cheapest site i have played at but one of the best. Great site, great prices, great location and great fun...so get down for a game!

We were shopping on a busy day in Blackburn just before Christmas and took an overwhelming urge for a pre-Christmas glass of Prosecco. This is a problem in the centre of Blackburn as a lot of the pubs are a bit basic. So we were very pleased to find this small upmarket bar which was styled as a Speakeasy. There was a huge gin menu with very reasonable prices. We had two small bottles of Prosecco which were reasonably priced at £4.90 each. It was clearly quite popular and the service was very efficient and friendly.
9. Blackburn Cathedral
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 194 reviews
Blackburn Cathedral is one of England's newest cathedrals, yet it is one of the country's oldest places of Christian worship. For many centuries, this has been the Parish Church of Blackburn dedicated to St. Mary the Virgin. It continues as a place of prayer and worship and is now at the centre of the Diocese which takes in almost the whole of Lancashire.

Well this was a surprise, a lovely cathedral that seemed to combine the old and modern, it was bright and airy, possibly my favourite cathedral for the design. The people there were very welcoming and friendly, even the bishop stopped to chat. Excellent.
