Putt Above Mini Golf & Bar in Blackpool
We spotted the Putt Above Mini Golf & Bar in Blackpool earlier this week.
The indoor minigolf venue is located on the promenade not too far from the Blackpool Tower.
We didn't have time to play the high-tech indoor minigolf course on the nice and sweltering hot day out, but will give it a go when we're back on a less pleasant day weather-wise in the seaside town.
Check out the Putt Above website for more information.

Pete tells us that all the holes were well thought out and he thought it was really good. The venue also has golf simulators which he's keen to go back and try out.

Putt Above Mini Golf & Bar in Blackpool
A new Putt Above Mini Golf & Bar venue is opening in Blackpool.
Blackpool will soon be home to a new indoor high-tech minigolf course as Putt Above Mini Golf & Bar opens on Blackpool Promenade on Thursday 11th January.
Find out more on the Putt Above Mini Golf website.
We're yet to play at Putt Above Mini Golf - there is also a Putt Above location at Merry Hill in Dudley. Putt Above Mini Golf differs to 'traditional' miniature golf as you play your round on the same lane, with obstacles and theming projection mapped onto the playing surface.
We're looking forward to having a game on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Cinnabon in the UK
I saw my first Cinnabon in the UK today.
You can get a cinnamon roll at Rivington Services on the M61 |
There are plans to open 150 Cinnabon outlets in the UK by 2025. The number currently stands at 13 stores.
I really fancy a cinnamon roll now.
USA vs the UK |
It's always interesting seeing new and different brands entering the UK. In recent times Dunkin' and Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs have popped up on the high street.

A look at the Pitch & Putt miniature golf course at Marine Gardens in Fleetwood.
We took a look at the Pitch & Putt course at Marine Gardens on our recent trip to the seaside town.
There also used to be a Crazy Golf course a stone's throw away at Marine Hall Gardens. We played that course in 2009. Sadly it was removed in 2012.

The Garfield Hotel in Blackpool
Spotting The Garfield Hotel in Blackpool.
We noticed The Garfield Hotel while walking around Blackpool last week. What a gimmick.
We might have to stay there on a future visit to the seaside resort to see what it looks like inside.
