Blackpool Illuminations Midweek and Weekend Breaks

Shining from Friday 29th August 2025

Just when all other seaside towns are closing up for the winter Blackpool is revving up for some of the best weeks of the year – Blackpool
Illuminations! This spectacular display of lights, known as The Festival of Light, stretches six miles along the Fylde coast, past our windows and attracts millions of visitors every year.

However, the lights are only one of the attractions at this time of year in our bustling seaside town. The major attractions are open and there is plenty to do despite the onset of winter, so wrap up warm and hit the promenade for the greatest holiday you have ever had!

Not sure when is the best time to visit? See below for our range of special deals throughout these magical weeks or contact us for more information. Can only get away for a night or two? We still accept short stays throughout the lights - check availability and book your break here.
