Christmas Opening Times
Over the Christmas period some council services and offices will close early but the council has tried to minimise disruption by identifying ‘quiet’ times when fewer people visit the offices and only closing at those times.  

Please find below a list of Christmas opening times for Customer First and other Blackpool Council venues.
