BLACKPOOL ILLUMINATIONS
As the summer season draws to a close, Blackpool looks forward to long autumn nights bathed in light and colour.
Blackpool Illuminations are considered to be the greatest free light show on earth, which entertains millions of visitors each year and brings glowing warmth to even the coldest October evening.
