About Blackpool Illuminations

First lit in 1879, the Blackpool Illuminations are a truly historic event, initially inspired by the advent of electric lighting. What began as a festive display of coloured lights along the Promenade has evolved into a world-renowned attraction, drawing millions of visitors each year.

It’s a unique blend of tradition and innovation, offering something new to see each year while retaining its magical charm.

Location & Access

The Blackpool Illuminations are located along the famous Blackpool Promenade, stretching approximately six miles from Starr Gate in the south to Norbreck in the north. The most densely illuminated sections are typically around the Pleasure Beach and the Golden Mile. For coach drop-offs and pick-ups, there are designated areas along the Promenade, though specific restrictions can apply during peak times. It’s advisable to coordinate with your coach provider to identify the most convenient and accessible drop-off points nearest to the sections you wish to explore. Blackpool North railway station is the main train station, but it is a significant distance from the main illuminations, making direct coach travel highly advantageous for groups. Many visitors find the late afternoon and evening the best time to experience the full magic of the lights, as they truly come alive after dark.
