Best known for the Pleasure Beach and its eponymous tower, Blackpool is a destination undergoing a renaissance at the moment and welcomesmillions of visitors each year, as much for events such as The Tour of Britain, Blackpool Illuminations, International Beach Volleyball, Showzam and lots more.

Blackpool is the UK's favourite beach resort, packed with attractions, entertainment, top line shows and events. The resort boasts six miles of promenade, at the heart of which is the famous Golden Mile.
