POP out of town for a corking road trip on the Bubbly Bus as a Blackpool hotel celebrates the return of a vintage idea.
The Grand Metropole Hotel on the promenade has restarted its famous Champagne Tours after almost ten years.
The five-day long trips begin in Blackpool picking-up in Preston and Blackburn and are destined for one of the Grand's sister hotels in Brighton and Margate.
And of course there's plenty of champers flowing to make the journey just that little bit smoother.
Started in the Eighties, the champagne tours are the brainchild of Rod Rodgers, managing director of the hotel group, pictured with the Bubbly Bus dancers.
"Lots of our guests were asking about what happened to the tours and it occurred to me that the market for trips is even larger these days," said Rod.
The first trip left on Monday (June 19) accompanied by hostess Maria Van der Valk. For details call (01253) 756705.
