The Blackpool Illuminations will once again ensure that millions of families will continue to head to the popular seaside resort, even though the warm summer days are likely a thing of the past as far as 2023 is concerned. The six miles of spectacular lighting displays will shine bright each and every night until January 1st 2024 but there’s more than just illuminations for families to enjoy, Blackpool home to numerous family-friendly attractions open until after the sun goes down.
