Reform UK branding on The Talbot public house, formerly Blackpool's Conservative Club, rebranded as a political-themed pub in May 2025.

A close-up view of the distinctive turquoise-blue sign outside The Talbot, a Reform UK-branded public house on Milbourne Street in Blackpool, Lancashire, England. Large white capital letters spelling THE TALBOT dominate the rectangular fascia, with the words REFORMUKPUB beneath and the circular Reform UK arrow logo towards the right-hand end. The sign is mounted across the red-brick frontage of the former Talbot Conservative Club, with a first-floor window, exterior lights and black drainage pipe forming part of the building detail. Below the main fascia, a second turquoise advertising panel promotes JACKPOT BINGO SESSIONS, including Thursday night games starting at 8.45pm and Sunday lunchtime games starting at 3pm. White, red and blue promotional lettering provides a visual contrast with the political party branding above. The Talbot became nationally known in May 2025 when the former Conservative club was rebranded as a Reform UK-themed pub. The change attracted media attention as a pub adopting political party branding, amid growing competition between Reform UK and the Conservatives for voters and local support. The rebranding followed Reform UK's gains in the 2025 English local elections and was widely associated with the rise of the party led by Nigel Farage. Situated in the Lancashire seaside resort of Blackpool, the venue brings together local pub culture, political expression and traditional community entertainment. The photograph emphasises the large lettering and party emblem rather than the wider street frontage, making the new political identity immediately recognisable. The bingo advertisement gives the image an additional social and commercial dimension, reflecting how the premises operates as a neighbourhood pub as well as a publicly visible symbol of changing British political allegiances. Its saturated turquoise signage against the textured red brick creates a striking visual record of political rebranding in Blackpool town.
