Things to Do When It Rains in Skegness

When the rain sets in, Skegness still works as a day out — seafront arcades, family entertainment, indoor attractions and welcoming pubs are all close together and open through the day.

Top picks when it pours

  • Seafront arcades — Family arcades on Grand Parade run from morning until late evening.
  • Pubs with food — Town-centre and seafront pubs serve food from lunchtime — most have a roast on Sundays.
  • Family entertainment — Indoor entertainment venues run shows, karaoke and bingo across the week.

Plan your day

  • Park central — Town-centre car parks put you within walking distance of most indoor venues.
  • Stack activities — Combine an arcade morning, a pub lunch and an evening entertainment slot.
  • Backup options — Ingoldmells (Fantasy Island) is five minutes north for more indoor space.
