BLACKPOOL ILLUMINATIONS
Back in Victorian times, Blackpool was the first town in the country to 'go electric'. A century later, the resort's love affair with light endures. Every autumn, when other seaside resorts close down, Blackpool becomes a blaze of coloured lights with "the greatest free show on earth" - Blackpool Illuminations. Fibre optics and computer control have brought a new dimension to Britain's biggest tourist attraction. The display stretches along Blackpool's famous seafront for over five miles transforming the Promenade into a wonderland of colour.
Each year spectacular new sections are added to the display. It's Britain's favourite autumn break, so take a trip to Blackpool lights. It's nicer with the lights on!
Illumination Dates:
2005 - 2nd September to 6th November.
2006 - 1st September to 5th November.
