Blackpool for the Famous Lights
Staying at The Imperial Hotel, Blackpool
2 DAYS | 1st November 2026
Blackpool, the North’s most treasured holiday resort, comes alive with the world-famous Illuminations. A delight for first timers or seasoned visitors, what began as a mere 10,000 lights to mark Blackpool’s first royal visit in 1912 is now six miles and over one million lights of luminescent colour; a British institution, it needs little introduction. Let us do all the work and choose instead to travel at ease in the luxurious comfort of a Roy McCarthy coach, enjoy a spot of shopping and the traditional seaside fayre of fish and chips, see the lights and then return to the comfort of a nearby hotel. So don’t delay, climb aboard and join us on this wonderfully nostalgic minibreak!
