Blackpool Illuminations 29/10/2026
Take the opportunity to see the world-renowned Blackpool Illuminations in all their glory! One of the biggest and brightest events in the North, where a million twinkling bulbs burst into life and transform the dark night skies in a blaze of colour.
Spend the afternoon enjoying the traditional seaside festivities, maybe venture onto the Pleasure Beach (admission not included) with its thrills and spills, or try your luck in the colourful arcades. You might even wish to stroll along the beach, but wrap up warm as the weather is likely to be quite fresh at this time of year!
No trip to Blackpool is complete without seaside fish and chips, as much as part of this town as the famous Blackpool Tower!
Late arrival home from Blackpool to allow for a drive through the lights after dusk
