How are prayer times calculated for Blackpool?
Sitting at roughly 53.82°N in Lancashire, Blackpool has its own sunrise and sunset each day, so its prayer times are worked out from its exact position rather than a regional average.
Today the sun rises at 07:56 and Maghrib falls at 17:55, giving 9h 58m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:58) and Isha (currently 19:46) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Blackpool, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 118° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 5,089 km.
Prayer times in Blackpool are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Preston (23 km), Lancaster (30 km) and Blackburn (37 km).
