Blackpool Illuminations
Six miles of illuminated displays run along Blackpool seafront from Starr Gate up to Red Bank Road, and are free to walk or drive past. It is entirely outdoors, so wrap up warmly, and it suits all ages including pushchairs. No booking is needed to view the lights, though the tram tours and some seafront attractions are ticketed separately.
