  • Join Charlotte and I as we head to Blackpool for the switch on night of the 2020 Illuminations! This year the world famous Blackpool Illuminations will shine every night from September 4th 2020 through until 3rd January 2021. In this video we take you on a tour of the illuminations starting in Bispham and making our way all the way down to Blackpool Pleasure Beach. We share highlights from this wonderful show that this year is celebrating all of the amazing work by the NHS and Key Workers during this difficult year.

We visited Blackpool last week, we stayed at the Ibis Styles Hotel, we watched a show at Kings And Queens on Central Pier, we saw all the illuminations, we swam in Sandcastle Waterpark, we rided in Pleasure Beach and we walked on the beach. (just 3 days after we left, Blackpool suffered a tier 3 lockdown, so we were lucky).

    I preferred the old fibreglass illuminations, they had so much presence and colour about them and it was a nice warm glow they emitted. They seem to have gotten rid of a lot of them now which is a shame, they were quite unique to Blackpool. I remember the giant lamp shades near the pleasure beach, the mermaids, crystal balls, party poppers and the aliens in the flying saucers. The tower looks far better now though with the modern LED patterns.
