Got a love for lights? You’ll have an exciting time at the Blackpool Illuminations then – the most spectacular show of lights that we have ever come across. Set up on special trams and the front facade of buildings, they adorn the Golden Mile at the Western Coast of the UK, brightening up the town of Lancashire. Tableaux mark the end of the illuminations; these are large lit up scenes that we so dearly love. Families, friends and children attend the event in thorns of thousands.
If you are planning to check out the Blackpool Illuminations this year, then do keep our advice in mind for an amazing trip.
- The lights go up at 5 pm, and we would suggest that you reach the site before this time.
- How do you want to see the lights? Decide this before arriving at the venue. Would you want to go by coach, car or a tram? Bear in mind that if you drive at peak time, it would be really busy. Don’t be surprised if you get caught in long queues towards the sea front. And if you are going by tram, then board it at the ends of the prom. Try to avoid the stops in between, because chances are you wouldn’t find any tram with space.
- If you have kids, then do visit the prom end where the best light displays are set up. Children have fun watching the huge lit up scenes, so do spend time there.
- Blackpool can get cold at night so keep a jacket or blazer with you to keep yourself warm and comfortable.
- Thinking of having food? Try out the fish and chips, and then end your meal with some of the most delicious cream cakes that you would ever eat.
