UK's no1 coach holidays

The Blackpool Illuminations

Looking for something that’s sure to light up your life? Our coach trips to Blackpool Illuminations are the perfect way to do that!

Whilst the traditional seaside resort of Blackpool is a much-loved holiday destination all year round, it famously comes to life from August to January when its nights are a dazzling array of lights and shimmering displays.

Starting out with 10,000 lights back in 1912, the annual lighting extravaganza now sees over one million light bulbs dazzle along the seafront for almost six miles. In 2026 the Illuminations will see a trio of smoke-breathing dragons as its new centrepiece by the Blackpool Tower and there will be a range of new open-air art installations to experience.

Blackpool Illuminations coach trips

With different designs and themes added each year, a Blackpool Illuminations break always gives you something new and exciting to discover. 

It’s one of the UK’s biggest attractions and the largest free light show in the world, attracting millions of visitors each year. 

As well as this, on a Caledonian coach tour you’ll be able to enjoy even more of the town’s unique charm and popular attractions.

All our breaks include coach travel from a range of departure points across Northern England and Scotland, with reserved seating throughout, hotel accommodation, and a programme of excursions for your enjoyment.

Many of our Blackpool breaks also include dinner, bed and breakfast, and a number of tours offer the added benefit of an inclusive drinks package, giving you even greater value during your stay.
