Skegness on Saturday Night: Will it kick off?

I take a walk around Skegness on a Saturday night in late January 2024.

[@poppyk6182]

I always chuckle when you say “ Its all kicking off in Blackpool “ 😂

[@mickmcgill5234]

Av not heard it's all kicking off in skegness 😊

Enjoyed your Skegness walkabout Stephen.

[@scott24679554]

I used to live in Mansfield now in cleveleys so I used to travel up to Skegness a lot , it seems a lot better now than 8years ago when I went , some nice pubs .. brilliant video as always Stephen

[@mildredschulz]

Hi Stephen. enjoyed your walk around Skegness. and your photos look fantastic. lovely colors. The clock tower looks great with the changing colors. 👍🥰❤️

[@lindenbutters9396]

In my youth the mods would arrive on vespas clad in parka jackets. We would have all nighters on the beach after spilling out from the Brief Encounter which opened till the early hours, a coffee bar down chip alley. The Chuck Wagon and the Lion were our haunts listening to Tamla Motown. Sometimes we would hitch hike to the Gliderdrome Boston to dance to top live bands like Emerson Lake and Palmer, Ginger Bakers Airforce and more. The Tower Gardens had a great illumination, a blue Smurf, but they took it away causing my young son to cry and cry. Skegness was lovely. Its no longer recognisable to me.

[@tomtugginhard5818]

Skegvegas, Ingoldmells and the rest of the east coast seem to have vastly increased the number of caravans since I was there. Is this a sign of the agenda of stopping us travelling abroad/long distances? Newquay, where I had my best family hols, has increased self catering apartments, etc. Holidays at home is making a return.

[@jonathanbowles2577]

Good Evening Steve. Skeggy at night looking rather calm and peaceful. Looks very nice to come and visit for a Evening out with my Friends. Thank you Steve.

[@kevinmott6205]

Love Chapel St Learnard had lovely time there with the kids x

[@ItsRael108]

Aa always great wee walk about, never been to Skegness though have been to blackpool many times, i remember back in the 1980's blackpool had a vast underground swingers scene. I will always have a special place in my heart for british holidays 🇬🇧 Thanks for sharing your walks Stephen

[@billmurray2525]

Thank you for sharing a great post Steven love Skegness visit most days for shopping when staying at Butlins find the people so nice and friendly helpful.

[@78selsey]

Great video Stephen as always I went there years ago it all looks a lot better now . Love hearing you say it's kicking off . Take care stay out of them dark roads ❤

[@janobyrne2424]

Thank you for the video Stephen, Skeggy's night life quieter than I remember as a teenager. Love the Art Deco never really appriciated it as a youngster and I'm glad they've kept it. You've taken some lovely photos Stephen. It all kicks off in Skeggy too.😊😊😊

[@gavinhodgkins6643]

Hello Stephen, thank you for your video in Skegness. Looks so different since my last visit so would be interested to go back. Hope you enjoyed your time up East.

[@thomasmann9216]

I'm so disappointed it didn't kick off in Skegness on Saturday night! 🤣 I enjoy your videos, Stephen, and the still photos were great. You are an excellent photographer.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks 🙏

[@hazelmanship7516]

Thanks for the nice walk around skegness,😊

[@Christine-xq9ep]

Looks much nicer at night I thought it was awful during the day especially that premier inn on the front but it looks lovely at night. Love all the art deco. Skegness looks nicer than expected 👍 quite posh! xx

[@georgesmellie8717]

Thanks again for another informative vlog Stephen as i said on the last vlog I've not been in Skegness since I was a young boy i hope you are well

[@markstramtrainbuscapades1729]

My mate from Leicester says East Midlanders call the street with the chippies, chip pan alley!

[@LeeJohn70]

Excellent video Stephen. Nice to see Skegness ag night. Having a McDonald's on the seafront makes other businesses keep their prices down. It was sure Kicking Off down that Road. Look forward to your next video 👍😁😎

[@BritainsAbandonedRealms]

Great video Stephen would you be able to get a video over in Ingoldmells if your still over that way, that would be interesting and its only down the road from Skegness 😊

[@MrVxrman]

I last went to Skegness in 2009 and stayed on a campsite on Roman bank. I remember there was a nice chip shop near the clock tower. Its hard to believe it was nearly fifteen years ago now. Many thanks for the nice memories Stephen 👍

[@tonyrobinson362]

That was Tones chip shop now gone, I think he retired to Spain.

[@stephenfinney5593]

I've not been Skegness for about 47yrs when I went to Butlins , brilliant video Steve

[@jacquelinemccann1493]

Hi Stephen, thanks for another great video 😊

[@GuidoDarmanin]

Nice onewatched yer Blackpool blogs Stephen,good too see u in other places mate,ps i went to Blackpool last year like i said I would, blooming marvellous!!!! Fantastic work Steve.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 3:12

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks 👍

[@susannah1184]

Thanks for another great vlog, enjoyed this xx

[@davidscott9483]

That was an interesting video Steve, don't think I would fancy a holiday there though, seemed extremely quiet for a Saturday evening, keep up the good work Steve 😂

[@julieball1167]

It is out of season still , probably the reason why it’s quiet

[@mrperfectedkelly]

Another great video Stephen. Always interesting to explore new places. I’m in Brighton and went to Skegness about 25 years ago.

[@juliewright-v3v]

thanks Stephen for another great video

[@jayoneill1533]

Interesting walkabout in Skegness, it’s amazing how quiet tourist towns like Blackpool become in the off season.

[@kevinmott6205]

Great look around Skegness. Cheers Stephen 😊

[@jackbrown854]

Hi steven your better off going in summer or late march and going down the road to fantasy island 🏝 Ingoldmells

[@shirleyhudson407]

After 6pm or 7pm it goes like a ghost town when it's out of season.

[@wendyjones2351]

Hi Stephen thank you for another great video as always looks like skegness hasn't got the busy night life like Blackpool has but its a lot smaller love the clock on the roundabout have a great day xx

[@lynnescaddan8919]

Hi Stephen, i liked your walk around video today, The Steak house do a nice meal~ my sister & i eat there a lot when on holiday. Were going to Skegness again this July. We go to Blackpool two years then Skegness for two years. We just have our Eve meal, then go back to hotel, were both walking impaired.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Glad you enjoyed it Lynne.

[@hamshackleton]

Sent your earlier daytime vid to my Sis, who used to holiday in Skeggy. She said she didn't recognize any of it!

[@richardward5386]

Love the its kicking off in Skegness coverage Stephen 😂

[@karenbiddle1484]

Not been for there for 50 years! Looks ok

[@lykewakewitch9026]

Another great video, thanks. X

[@Debbie-f5x]

I always laugh when you say “it’s all kicking off in Blackpool”

[@guy4sling]

Great seeing Skegness at night time, will be different again get holiday season here, and Kicking Off in full swing, With Skeg having so many caravan sites a lot of nightlife happens in the clubs / bars on site or Ingoldmells just down Roman Bank two miles.

[@bettywhittaker6083]

Hi Steve we have been to witness a few times and really like it we stayed at haven park called Skegness holiday Park and it's about 10-15 min walk from the Tesco store and it has ideally good fish and chip shop on sight .

[@deniseshaw3871]

Wellies Bar great for Northern Soul events

[@improvesheffield4824]

It’s good to see good old Skeggy is busy in the off season and so well lit at night. If there’s one thing I hope you take away from your visit Stephen is that you don’t need to be a large or wealthy place to have lots of trees, something that Blackpool is shamefully so lacking in and needs a severe rethink about!

[@uk-martin4905]

There is no point in thinking about it. As any gardener will tell you, it is a fact that trees and flowers cannot survive in Blackpool's windy, salt-laden atmosphere and no plant has yet been invented that is able to do so. Even the grass the council put down when the Promenade was remodelled virtually all perished within a year. If you want greenery, look elsewhere - just as I did....

[@improvesheffield4824]

@@uk-martin4905 nonsense!!! There are plenty of plants that have evolved to live by the coast and can easily deal with strong, salt laden winds. All there needs to be is the knowledge to plant the right plants that will thrive in that environment and the political will to do it! And we're not just talking about the sea front: there are already a small number of trees in the backstreets already just a few yards from the promenade. There simply needs to be a lot more planted where they're already thriving, so please take your ignorant comments somewhere else please - you're not helping!

[@sophieboult310]

A breath of fresh air

[@andrewsmith8882]

Looks very clean and well kept Stephen , hope you enjoy your stay 👍

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks Andrew 👍

[@carolmurray5569]

Thanks for another great video stephen😋😋

[@no2embish]

Heard you mention Lytham Steve in this vid… I’ve heard they’ve just installed some huge CCTV cameras in the town just outside Stringers & some further down Clifton street & the square ((wonder if it’s been kicking off)) brilliant vid as always 👍

[@Gail-30]

Enjoy stay safe

[@chrisjohnsonadventures]

Nice walk around good to see Skegness

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Glad you enjoyed

[@liverpoolk648]

Stephen....Liverpool Kev here ....So much thanks as usual to show us........Get home quick before you turn into a pumpkin haha...Take care ...Liverpool Kev...

[@mikecaine3643]

I've never been to Skegness but it seems alright - clean and tidy .But the good thing about Blackpool is no matter how far you roam you can always pinpoint the Tower and find your way back to the seafront - unless somebody trips over the plug and the lights go out .

[@djrampage1]

great video stephen always guaranteed a good night in skeg pubs are brill very rarely any bother come in the summer when its more busier its very lively at a few of them bars you deffo need to come back and try a few of them cafes down the high street though ;)

[@andrewbush3744]

On Lumley road there used to be a amazing sandwich shop chickens cakes very nice

[@ScottMcculloch-ei3og]

Some very nice looking arcades there nice to see a video of mr wildside on tour.

[@poppyk6182]

I wonder how Lumleys are going to feel when the Whetherspoons open opposite them 🙈

[@radfordred]

Well it’s been there for donkey years, it’s only being done up & extended

[@SimonM-63]

Very good, Steve 👍

[@deniseshaw3871]

Not far from me in Sutton on Sea

[@marksteven6116]

remember it well summer in skeg want to cry ,take me back to then

[@rachellunn4843]

I've not been to Skegness since I was 3 months pregnant with my son he's now almost 23 next month

[@paulgriffin5237]

went there for me first holiday in skegness in 82 to butlins but not been back since ,

[@jedlinnen6528]

Looks like a lovely place. The Bingo Hall is a gem

[@markgreet3543]

So much is open in winter, and there's shows as well at butlins.

[@adavies311]

hi Stephen great video and that pirate chippy has been on barging loving brits on channel 5

[@johnvaughan8011]

Love the illuminated iconic clock tower in Skegvegas! A similar one in Margate!

[@bighashbashcheef6408]

there were hardly any young people going out on Saturday night , pretty grim, however, the town itself is quite nice.

[@sandradowling4605]

we stay indoors wheen in blacpool at night.....inside entertainment....Hotel Sheraton. Have you been inside Stephen , it is so beautiful? x

[@josephafc8370]

It’s all kicking off 😂😂❤

[@Photofinish43]

Nice to see how other seaside towns live.

[@jonathanjackson4983]

Good video Stephen - thanks. Good old Skegness council switching off more and more street lighting! Pathetic!

[@CHRIS-xm1do]

Skegness 1968 Butlins lads holiday completely rat arsed pushed my food tray straight off the end of the serving area. Great memories of Skeg.

[@sharonellis8776]

I guess the town have their own local beer monsters Stephen. The clock tower is gorgeous at night.

[@navid.S]

The seaside towns of the north are mostly similar, for me the south coast is completely different. I don't mean which is better, but they are very different...

[@JasonYeo-jj3sb]

I heard it's all kicking off in blackpool again enjoy your walkabout skegness Steve 😊

[@theagunton3811]

I remember seeing elephants on the beach. Xx

[@tonyrobinson362]

That was along time ago, They use to have one at Ingoldmells plus a miniature railway many moons ago.

[@theagunton3811]

Cockneys went to skeggy on holiday. . X im in Blackpool now.

[@markreynolds8275]

Hi u are at skegness at the round time of year when alot of it is closed

[@markwells6806]

that park has lots of beer monsters in the summer

[@rossmurrayfam1568]

I went into Busters pub and fell out of it good night 👊

[@martinwebb1681]

Behind the main shopping street there is a little street that runs parallel, that is also filled with chip shops and a few cafes, and has a street market in the spring/summer months. Nice photos Stephen, did you use a tripod? ... Thanks it was a great video.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yes, I used my trusty Manfrotto tripod for the long exposure shots.

[@FloatingCroc]

I’d hardly call one guy being arrested as “all kicking off”

[@markgreet3543]

Its a good funfair great rides, the water ride is amazing, a decent ghost train, and pirate ship, and roller coaster and freak out, yes i agree blackpool is decent as well both great places to vist.

[@stuartbrazier2464]

Nice vlog of Skegness at night .. Never had any problems there myself . I always think skegness is a little bit like Southport

[@timspooner59]

Fairly quiet = totally deserted

[@radfordred]

Kicking off you say, I’ve seen some of the biggest bar room brawls & riots in that Marine Bar just off the front 🥊

[@radfordred]

Surprised you did not find the best pub in Skeggy “Churchill's” on your right as you walked down Ida Road, did you find the sea?

[@sarahillingworth2718]

Skegness looks similar to Cleethorpes 👍

[@ChristianForrest-pm9mj]

It is not that busy in Skegness in the winter. He should go again in the summer.

[@geordiejones2]

Stephen your the man, love your clips but please my friend be careful, people with beer inside them can be a bid odd shall we say.

[@natsabuannam1725]

Near zero footfall on a Saturday night. So sad to see what's happened to our once great nation.

[@anthonygiglio9860]

Great Video Steve I Enjoyed It Are You Going To Go Back In The Summertime? and How Long Does It Take To Drive From Skegness To Blackpool ? Do They Have Two Bowling Alleys There ? skegness Is One Banging Place😊

[@markgreet3543]

I love skeg, and most seaside towns in the uk.

[@louiseanderson1505]

Enjoyed the walk about but would never consider going anywhere like this or Blackpool for a day out, never mind a week! I much prefer the countryside and nature. 😊

[@ekimbrough1413]

YES!!! I saw Kickoff in Blackpool! Great vid! Now where is Skegness in relation to Blackpool?

[@rogerpage9682]

a very good video

[@stevecray8282]

We lost skeggy pier decade's ago in a huge storm. What you experienced is all that's left of it.

[@michaelbrassington7549]

I think it be good if you returned to Skegness in the summer to catch the vibes then. 😊

[@raymondhayes7673]

No Weatherspoons in Skegness? 🤔?, The Red Lion, I've been in it, 🤔 it says it's not too busy on Google maps.....

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

It said on Google that it was open lol

[@Cockermadman]

That road with all the chippies is called " chip pan alley"

[@Billy-m1l]

Whats the place like where you're staying Stephen?

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I stayed in my van!

[@3-cpo574]

You should have mentioned savoy opposite premmer inn,lovley hotel.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I did on my daytime video.
