Monday Mayhem

The Flying Handbag's late Monday night, from 8pm until 3am every week.

Monday Mayhem is The Flying Handbag's weekly Monday night, running from 8pm until 3am.

It is proof that Blackpool doesn't stop just because it is a Monday. Karaoke also runs on Monday nights, so if you've been saving a power ballad all weekend, this is your moment.

Price: no entry charge is published. Most quarter bars are free to get into during the week, but check at the door.

Where: The Flying Handbag, 44 Queen Street, a purpose-built LGBTQ+ bar with a sun terrace and a late licence. It is 18+, so bring ID.

Tip: if you're in town for a long weekend, Monday is a good night to see the quarter with smaller crowds. Garlands has its Monday drag a short walk away on Talbot Road.
