Families

There’s no better place for family fun than Blackpool - where we have a great calendar of events and shows to keep any family entertained throughout the year.

Be dazzled by the amazing skills of the skaters at Pleasure Beach Resort’s Hot Ice Show (4 July – 8 September); or take in one of the regular changing shows at the Grand Theatre and Opera House; and don’t forget to leave some time to see the Blackpool Tower & Circus which has been entertaining children and adults alike for generations.

Be amazed by the legendary aerobatic skills of the annual Blackpool Air Show, or gaze into the night sky and watch a myriad of colours explode during the World Fireworks Champion of Champions every September.

As a Cycling Town, Blackpool has cycling at its heart, so the more energetic of you can see regular events such as Tour of Britain. Want to see the Blackpool Illuminations at close hand? Well you can when the promenade will be closed for one night only allowing cyclists to Ride the Lights.

Of course there can be no greater family event than the award-winning Blackpool Illuminations when your little ones can be amazed by the greatest free show on earth between 31 August - 4 November 2012.
