Description
For decades, the famous Blackpool Illuminations have been drawing crowds from all over the world, eager to see the greatest free show on earth! For two whole months Blackpool seafront and the splendid Tower are transformed into a magical, fairytale world of glorious light and colour interspersed with impressive storytelling tableaux. This magnificent display features nearly 400,000 bulbs, hundreds of illuminated figures and themes and fifty miles of festoon strip. All this, combined with a well situated, comfortable hotel, good food and hospitality - and the chance to visit the lovely Lake District - make our breaks to Blackpool Illuminations an unforgettable holiday experience.
