Things to do in Blackpool
Blackpool Tower

It’s all about the view! Travel 380 feet straight up to the top of Blackpool Tower to find the exciting SkyWalk. Intrepid adventurers can walk onto the glass viewing platform and be rewarded with views to the Lake District in the north, as far as Liverpool in the south and across to the Isle of Man. Spectacular!

Blackpool Tower Ballroom

You have probably seen it on Strictly Come Dancing, this iconic ballroom is synonymous with the town itself. Join in one of their famous daily Blackpool Tower Ballroom afternoon tea dances, trip the light fandango and give the tango, waltz or foxtrot a whirl around the dance floor.

Blackpool Illuminations

World famous, the Blackpool illuminations shine out from the beginning of September until early January. Six miles of exuberant colourful lighting along the promenade – the atmosphere is thrilling for adults and children of all ages! A date for your diary is the Blackpool Illumination Switch on Concert with a star-studded line up of music, comedy and entertainment. Ben and Katie took their children for a day out to see the illuminations and discovered lots of other fun activities in Blackpool. Read their blog here. Just a short distance from Lancaster House, and definitely worth a visit.
