Has anyone used the car park at the Blackpool Hilton? Judging from the size of the hotel the car park doesn't seem very large.

Car park more than adequate. Very easy parking which adds to this excellent venue.

Thank you, gentlemen, the Google Earth map indicated an almost full car-park with very few spaces when the picture was taken.
If the hotel is full of visitors, plus the Film Convention followers, plus the larger vehicles of the table holders I thought the car park would be overflowing.

re blackpool after speaking to several dealers and collectors I have decided to not list what dealers will be attending all I can say is a lot more than last year over 35 tables, auction and bring and buy and please "don't ask for lists of my unsold films or photos...if you want either, get yourself to Blackpool"its your loss if you don't attend

Couldn't agree more. If you want the bargains, support this event! That's the only way!
