We Brits adore a seaside holiday and nowhere piles on the vintage delights like Blackpool. Here, alongside vinegar-soaked fish and chips, deckchairs and donkeys, you’ll discover an amusement-packed promenade, three piers, a famous theme park and an excellent zoo. Choice isn’t a problem. Fitting everything in is!

Begin your day’s adventures on the promenade which overlooks Blackpool’s golden sands (including South Beach which is a Blue Flag winner!). Whether you’re playing the penny arcades, riding a tram or indulging in sugary rock you’ll find lots to entertain.

For panoramic views, climb the iconic Blackpool Tower, which features a 380 ft high glass walkway! At the base, there’s a circus, an indoor play centre and a regal ballroom of Strictly Come Dancing fame.

Evenings here are just as action-packed, with top-class venues such as the Grand Theatre and the Winter Garden’s complementing Blackpool’s lively bars and restaurants. And don’t miss the glittering illuminations from September to November.
