Welcome to Virtual Blackpool - the Internet gateway into Britain's undisputed capital of entertainment. The biggest and most popular seaside resort in Europe, Blackpool offers just about everything a holidaymaker can wish for. Everyone has heard of the Blackpool Tower and the Golden Mile, but there's so much more to offer. Start with the Pleasure Beach, the single biggest tourist attraction in Britain with six and a half million visitors a year. Visit the animals at Blackpool Zoo, or take a ride on one of the famous trams. Visit the Winter Gardens and the Opera House, take in the three piers, and there's still so much more to see and do. In the autumn, the Blackpool Illuminations stretch for over 5 miles, transforming the Promenade into a wonderland of colour. This year, the Blackpool illuminations will be switched on by Tim Burton, and will run from 4th September to 8th November 2015. |
The Blackpool illuminations will run from 2th September to 6th November 2016. Have you booked your hotel room yet? |
