Blackpool Illuminations

Only on for a few weeks in the later part of the year the famous illuminations at Blackpool see a large stretch of the promenade displayed in thousands of lights and illuminated displays. You can take a tram, walk or drive through them and it’s the perfect way to end a day here.

Trams look fab. Carriage ride would have been nice if they weren't £25!

Very busy on Saturday nights, quieter on Sunday, but the luminations are turned off earlier. The illumation tram tours are excellent too.

The best way to see the lights is walking ‍♀️ but this isn’t always possible and it’s tiring ( and as in our case was piddling it down ☔️) So jump on a tram  the staff are so helpful and do have loads of knowledge so don’t be frightened to ask ! ..after all imagine riding them trams day in day out seeing what they see ... what a job x Seriously though The lights are fabulous and we laughed and cried at the memories they invoked...but I think the council, business owners and the people who work in and live in this area need to get together around the table to thrash out what is best to keep these amazing lights ... before we lose them forevermore .. Blackpool was amazing for us as is it for millions of people and the people who live and work it every day have a littles voice ... I hope the big wigs listen ...

Take the Tram 24hr ticket saves your legs and excellent way to stop look at lights and get back on without driving through the lights.
