Leisure & Entertainment

There is so much to do in Blackburn with Darwen. Both towns have a lot of restaurants, bars and cafés. 

Blackburn also has a 10 screen Vue cinema, near to the train station. In the same building you will find a ten pin bowling alley, plus you can play pool and arcade games.

Blackburn also has an ice skating arena called Planet Ice. Here you can go ice skating – you can even hire ice skates – and you can watch the local ice hockey team Blackburn Hawks.

Blackburn also has its own Museum and Art Gallery where you can see Victorian paintings, and learn more about Blackburn’s past.
