Special Events

It’s only fitting that don’t-do-it-by-halves Blackpool should host a whole week of events, during June, to celebrate the British Armed Forces rather than just a day like other parts of the country.

Because during the Second World War Blackpool was the largest troop training area on the planet, and on this week, a series of exhibitions, events and attractions will bring those days vividly back to life.

The World Firework Championships sees international pyrotechnical experts stage amazing displays in the skies above the Promenade. Join us for explosive action every September.
