Ballroom Brilliance: British Sequence Championships
While many think of Blackpool as a town of bright lights and lively evenings, September also offers moments of calm and beauty in its outdoor spaces. Stanley Park, often called the town’s green jewel, is especially enchanting at this time of year. As the leaves begin to shift into golden hues, the ornamental gardens take on a soft autumn glow. Visitors wander the Italian gardens, admire the fountains, or simply sit with a coffee by the boating lake watching the world drift by.
Families hire pedal boats, couples stroll hand in hand beneath the trees, and photographers capture the changing season in every detail. The park is also alive with music, with the bandstand often hosting weekend performances that add a gentle soundtrack to the setting. It is a reminder that Blackpool offers not only spectacle but serenity, where locals and visitors can take a slower pace.
After a day exploring the park and soaking in the softer side of the town, The Belmont Hotel provides the ideal return. Within minutes you are back by the seafront, surrounded by the energy of the promenade yet carrying the calm of the park with you. September in Blackpool is full of contrasts, and time spent at Stanley Park, paired with the comfort of The Belmont, offers the perfect balance.
