Travel

If it’s an exciting holiday you’re after, look no further than Blackpool – the Las Vegas of the north. A ‘Golden Mile’ of Piers, Amusement Arcades, Donkey rides, fish & chips, candy floss & all things unashamedly associated with the archetypal British seaside resort. Set apart from other seaside resorts by its incredible list of ‘A class attractions: Madame Tussauds, the Pleasure beach, the trams & of course Blackpool Tower, world renowned Mecca of Ballroom dancing.

Don’t forget, when other seaside resorts are winding the season down, Blackpool is just beginning. Blackpools famous illuminations are switched on from August to November & at 10 Kilometres long & using over one million bulbs its a pretty awesome sight!

As the sun sets Blackpool comes alive with an array of colour and light. Although this video was filmed in 2011 it gives you a good idea of what to expect to see and below this we also have 2014!

Here we have the dazzling light show of the 2014 Blackpool illuminations. Covering North Pier to Pleasure Beach.

The Tower has many attractions; Including a dungeon & circus. The Tower also plays host to many celebrity performances throughout the year. You can indulge in some pretty serious shopping at Blackpools Houndshill Shopping Centre, situated right at the heart of the resort, just a stones throw away from the Promenade.
