£39.00!! Wow
Although I can't quite work out how the charges got to that amount.

The Landing Fee is £7.60 per 1/2 tonne plus VAT for a/c up to 3 tonnes which covers the PA28.
Parking is FREE for the first 2 hours and then £2.40 per 1/2 tonne up to 24 hrs.

It is worth noting that a call to ATC to pre book your arrival and tell them that it is a training flight (which it would be if you had never been to Blackpool before) would have got a 50% reduction to the Landing Fee.

That doesnt really help d192049d but may help future visitors.

I do wonder whether the charges may have been from Poole as a Handing agent rather than just the airport itself? and if so can this be avoided!
