Illuminations Tram Tour With Live Music #wherethelightsareshining

Especially for TBCMF festival goers arriving on Thursday 2nd September in resort, in partnership with Blackpool Transport, we have arranged for you to be able to travel on an iconic Blackpool tram whilst taking in the bright lights of Blackpool’s famous Illuminations. This amazing preview is one day prior to the official switch-on! There will also be live music from the brilliant Pete Hartley on electric violin playing country music classics to get you in the mood for the festival the next day.

The tour will start at the Pleasure Beach Heritage Tram Stop, before heading north along the Promenade, past the thousands of lights that make the coastline sparkle, along with all the sights that Blackpool has to offer along the way. The tram will continue north to Little Bispham before turning around and travelling back to the Pleasure Beach, meaning you get to see all of the lights in both directions.

Price: £11.50 per person

Departure: 19:45 for 20:00 departure, lasting approx. 60 minutes.

With so many travelling to the festival on Thursday and some attending the festival on their own, this is a great opportunity to get together, make new friends and enjoy becoming part of the TBCMF festival community. What better way to start the weekend than a trip round the world famous Blackpool Illuminations #wherethelightsareshining
