The Blackpool Illumination Coach Holidays usually take place in the period between August and November. So many coaches set off from various departure points to the Promenade in Lancashire to attend one of the most spectacular light shows that you would ever come across. The amazing display of light stretches from the Bispham right up to the Star Gate, taking up approximately six miles of the skyline.
The show takes place for 76 nights and is enjoyed by more than 2 million visitors. All the lights are powered through renewable resources, and include so many types such as LED, neon, lasers and light bulbs. Even fibre optics, flood lights and search lights are switched on to create a dazzling illumination. Pretty lamps are used for the show, each an interesting colour and style. Some of you may even need your shades to enjoy the show to its fullest – the lights can be so bright!
The lights are used to create beautiful and scenic designs in the sky; sometimes the illuminations are of an object and sometimes characters. In any case, they appeal to people of all ages, especially the kids.
The Big Switch On event takes place before the Blackpool Illuminations; free tickets are distributed at random among the applicants. The show can also be watched from the Central Pier even if you don’t have any tickets. Every year, the lights are switched on by a celebrity, but the identity is kept a secret until the event is right around the corner.
