Blackpool Illuminations – Turkey & Tinsel

Discover the historic city of Lancaster, beautifully set along the sparkling River Lune, where scenic views and festive cheer await at every turn. Wander the charming streets lined with independent shops, or soak up the city’s rich history at Lancaster Castle, famous for the 1612 Pendle Witch Trials. With its mix of heritage, winter sparkle and riverside charm, Lancaster makes a delightful pre-Christmas stop on our Blackpool break.

Let’s discover the timeless charm of Southport, England’s Classic Resort. Stroll along its elegant Victorian boulevards, admire the historic pier stretching into the shimmering sea and wander through beautifully kept parks and gardens, all aglow with festive decorations and twinkling lights. Soak up the relaxed, seasonal atmosphere and enjoy a little seaside nostalgia before returning to Blackpool to make the most of the rest of your day at leisure.

We travel to the Victorian town of Fleetwood, a charming seaside gem with a rich maritime history, to explore one of the largest markets in the North West. With over 150 stalls brimming with festive treats, local crafts and seasonal delights, it’s a wonderful place to soak up the bustling atmosphere and discover something unique. Stroll along the historic streets, enjoy the town’s classic Victorian charm and feel the magic of the season before returning to Blackpool. In the evening, take an included drive along the promenade to see the spectacular Blackpool Illuminations, a dazzling, festive light display that brings the coastline to life.

After breakfast, we check out of our hotel and head home.
