About Blackpool


Blackpool is one of Britain’s best-loved seaside towns, and travelling by coach means you can skip the stress of driving or navigating trains. Sit back, relax, and arrive ready to enjoy the action.  

The town has kept its classic seaside feel, with long sandy shores and the lively Golden Mile, while adding plenty more attractions in recent years. From arcades to shows, it’s familiar and full of choice and entertainment.  

Whether you’re a regular visitor or it’s your first trip, Blackpool is never short of things to do. Our breaks are built for ease – good value, well-planned, and perfect for those who just want everything sorted before they set off

The only surviving first-generation tramway in the UK provides a unique trip around town. A number of the original fleet are still available to ride, and there are illuminated trams running from September to January - the best seat to see the annual light show! They now feature 1 million bulbs and more than 500 designs and features! 

There is so much to do and see in Blackpool, whether you’re 5 or 50! There are so many attractions – including the iconic Blackpool Tower, the town’s landmark which was modelled after the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
