 Blackpool's Illuminations are switched on annually at the start of September and continue, nightly, until the beginning of November. They're a huge show of moving, glowing tableaux, large illuminated models, laser lights and much, much more. Fibre optics and computer control have brought a new dimension to Britain's biggest tourist attraction. The display stretches along Blackpool's famous seafront from Starr Gate to Bispham transforming the Promenade into a wonderland of colour.
 For an unforgettable experience, take your seat on one of the disguised trams, the Wild West Train or the Space Rocket.
 Back in Victorian times, Blackpool was the first town in the country to 'go electric'. A century later, the resort's love affair with light endures. Every autumn, when other seaside resorts close down, Blackpool becomes a blaze of coloured lights - Blackpool Illuminations.
Each year spectacular new sections are added to the display. It's Britain's favourite autumn break, so take a trip to Blackpool lights. It's nicer with the lights on!
