Robbie Williams filmed the music video for his song “Advertising Space” at the Belle Vue pub in Blackpool. The shoot took place in June 2005 and made the most of the pub’s nostalgic and traditional atmosphere to match the song’s emotional story. The Belle Vue Pub was chosen because it holds sentimental value for Williams, being closely linked to his late grandfather, Jack Farrell.
The video shows various scenes inside the pub, highlighting its vintage character and adding a meaningful visual connection to the music. This choice of location reflects Williams’ appreciation for his roots and brings a personal touch to the video, blending his artistic vision with a significant local landmark. Five years after this visit to Blackpool, Robbie came to switch on the lights in an all-star show in 2010.
