Blackpool Illuminations<\/h2> \n \n
\n \n
\n What do you think of when someone says ‘Blackpool’? The Blackpool Illuminations, of course! They’re world-famous<\/strong> and bring a certain light to everyone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every autumn and winter, 6 miles<\/strong> of Blackpool are illuminated with traditional festoons<\/strong>, tableaux<\/strong> and interactive features that brighten up the night sky. All the way until the Promenade! It’s quite literally known as the greatest free light show<\/strong> around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, you’ll find them from 1st September 2023 to 1st January 2024<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gaze your eyes upon incredible <\/span>Blackpool<\/span> Tower projections, and illuminated tram tours<\/strong> that will take you along the world-famous Blackpool Tramway!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But that’s not all… Along the tramway, you’ll discover the Tableaux Tour. Fascinating, unique and truly wonderful displays that are truly big and bright! And you can walk right along them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They include a wide range of themes, from hula dancers<\/strong> and a giant pirate ship<\/strong> to ballerinas<\/strong> from Swan Lake and an entire Egyptian<\/strong> scene. It really is an amazing family fun evening out! They even have Noddy for the kids with all their favourite characters including Big Ears, Martha Monkey and of course, Noddy himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

With special effects, and light illuminations that attract people from all over, it’s no wonder why it’s a major attraction! <\/span> <\/div>\n \n
