BLACKPOOL ILLUMINATIONS EXPLORER

On Saturday 15th November we head up the West Coast Mainline, branching off to Blackpool to visit the famous seaside town and their world-famous illuminations. In order to allow you to enjoy the best experience of the illuminations, we will return from Blackpool after dark and expect to arrive back in Birmingham in the late evening.

Alongside the illuminations, the seaside town has plenty to see and do including Blackpool Tower, Madame Tussauds, the town’s historic collection of Heritage Trams and much more, ensuring you won’t be short of ways to fill your day and create memories to take back with you.

It has been confirmed that the Illuminations will be turned on at 17:00pm.
