About this Pub
Why it's great for Matchdays
Havelock Inn is a handy pre-match base near Ewood Park (around a 5-minute walk, per an away-fan guide), and it has been used by travelling supporters on matchdays. The pub emphasises live sport with multiple indoor screens plus an outdoor screen, and shows Sky Sports and TNT Sports—useful if you want to catch early kick-offs or post-match action. For drivers, an away-fan article notes free parking for over 100 cars at the pub on matchdays, which helps avoid stadium congestion. Altogether, its proximity, extensive TV coverage, and parking make it a practical choice for both home and away fans on a Blackburn away day.

Happened to pop in during a walk into Blackburn. What an oasis. In the gloomy, old instrual streets of Blackburn appears a proper traditional pub. No BS, just a good ol pub with locals - all on their stools at 11:30am, moaning about all the usual things. Great hosts!!!
Massive screen outside showing the footy! Good friendly environment!
Brilliant pub... music.. sports... outside screen...
Visited for Newcastle v Blackburn fa cup game. Very friendly welcome from staff and locals. No problems at all with away fans (colours can be worn). They even put the log burner on for us. Plenty of street parking (free) nearby. Short walk, 15-20 minutes, to ground. Food available from stall in grounds. Landlord very friendly.
Our band SKY TIGERS played here on Saturday, what an amazing venue to play at, stage inside the marquee was an added bonus, the DJ was really helpful and we was made to feel very welcome by all the staff behind the bar and the crowd that was there enjoying the bonfire and fireworks. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.
