The owners of the ALT 3 cafe have said that the main focus of the cafe's launch is to create a safe space for LGBTQ+ people in Blackpool.

Blackpool has a vibramt LBGTQ+ community and recently created the Be Who You Are space within the town.

This cafe is opening at a time when support for the LGBTQ+ community has never been stronger.

The addition of this LGBTQ+-focused cafe and bar is timely as Blackpool Sixth’s LGBTQ+ group celebrated a decade of their annual “Show your Pride” event.

This student-designed, organized, and led event embodies the spirit and dedication of the LGBTQ+ community in Blackpool.

The cafe was contacted for comment.
