Top 8 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Fleetwood, England
Fleetwood is a town and civil parish within the Wyre district of Lancashire, England, lying at the northwest corner of the Fylde. It had a population of 25,939 people at the 2011 census. The site of the town has been continuously inhabited since the Middle Ages. Fleetwood acquired its modern character in the 1830s, when the principal landowner Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood, High Sheriff and MP, conceived an ambitious plan to re-develop the town to make it a busy seaport and railway spur. He commissioned the distinguished Victorian architect Decimus Burton to design a number of substantial civic buildings, including two lighthouses. Hesketh-Fleetwood's transport terminus schemes failed to materialise. The town expanded greatly in the first half of the 20th century with the growth of the UK fishing industry, and passenger ferries to the Isle of Man to become a deep-sea fishing port.

My son loves coming here and I do too. The staff are lovely and friendly and the cake and coffee is good too! I especially like that there is a toddler area for when my youngest gets fed up (pre-covid of course!)

Had the most amazing night at ftfc party night. The food was to die for , Michelin star worthy easily ,and the artist was the best tribute Motown act I’ve ever seen. I’d like to thank the bar staff, the kitchen staff and especially the head chef Kane Parker who went above and beyond to make sure everything was just perfect on the night. What a team !!! Will definitely be booking for a lot more people next year if you organise the event again. Well done ftfc, smashed it!!! Merry Christmas ????????????

As a rule of thumb markets aren't what they used to be. Far from being places where you could find everything you wanted, these days they too often tend to concentrate on cheap clothes and things you've never really wanted anyway. Thank goodness then that Fleetwood is an exception to the new rule. It's a while since I'd visited but with a bit of time to spare between appointments in the port I ducked in and was delighted to find as near to a traditional market as you are likely to see. For starters most of it is under cover. Whether you want wool, cotton, cards, haberdashery, candles, things for pets and parents, ribbons for your hair or cannabis oil for your aching limbs, it's all here along with cd's, videos, vinyl, shirts for "fat lads" and clothes for kids. It's all very friendly and very local, there's food and (non alcoholic) drink too.

8. The Mount Hotel
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 134 reviews
Located on the corner of the promenade in Fleetwood and very handy for the Marine Hall, which is famous for its shows and local events, you will find The Mount. Historically the pub was built in 1896 with 50 bedrooms which are now flats. Winston Churchill and the Beatles are among the famous names to have stayed here. Nowadays this lovely Grade II listed building has retained much of its old world character, high ceilings, wood panelling and art deco features. With food served daily including a traditional roast dinner on Sundays, we are sure you'll enjoy your visit. The pub also boasts a large function room and a games room for those looking to relax with a drink and have some friendly competition.

Literally the best pub in Fleetwood. Staff super friendly and all of them well presented as you should expect from a pub chain such as greene king. New menu with great HOME MADE FOOD!!. Hard to find nowadays. Decor modern and almost brand new. Drinks are a tad dear but keeps out the riff raff. Well usually the idea. Footy days are mental(in a good way) as sports bar is massive with pool table and 2 x dart boards but it's not intimidating and dingy. Good for families and all. Special shout out to a girl named Danny who couldn't do enough and who must be the manager sophie who made sure me and my mum felt special. Cheers team mount!!!
