Blackpool Illuminations Weekend Plus £1 Bar

Itinerary

Day 1

Join your comfortable coach at your convenient local pick up point this morning, and head to the 'Vegas of the North' - action packed Blackpool! On arrival enjoy time to settle in and perhaps enjoy a breath of sea air and stroll down the prom, or jump on a tram for a great overview of the whole seafront and your first glimpse of the amazing Illuminations! Make sure you have time for a drink or several in the bar (your amazing £1 bar gives you selected drinks between 6pm and 8pm every night!) to meet new friends before your first evening meal. Then sit back and enjoy the fabulous entertainment that Blackpool and your hotel is so famous for!

Days 2 & 3

Your centrally located hotel means you are right in the heart of the action in the seaside town that rarely sleeps! So make sure you explore and enjoy every moment with a trip to the beach (which must come with fish & chips, ice cream and a stick of rock), a ride along the prom on a traditional tram, take a wander down your favourite pier, have some hair raising fun at the Pleasure Beach, or a visit to the must see Blackpool Tower with its own host of attractions.

Don't miss your INCLUDED scenic drive through the lovely Pendle Valley along with a visit to Oswaldtwistle Mills. Also enjoy an evening tour of the greatest free light show on Earth as you see the famous Illuminations at their best!

Return to your hotel in the evening for great food, entertainment and, of course, that £1 bar.

Day 4

After a final hearty breakfast it is time to say farewell to Blackpool today. Board your comfortable coach for a relaxing journey home full of fun memories and with your newly made friends.
