The
City of Blackpool
Blackpool
is probably the most famous of all of the traditional English seaside
towns. The best known features are: the North Pier (built in 1863); the
Central Pier (1868); the South Pier
(1893); Blackpool Tower (1894) a 518-foot-tall copy of
the Eiffel Tower, which was painted gold for its centenary; the
Blackpool
Pleasure Beach amusement park, near to the South Pier. The town is
reputed to have more hotel beds
than the whole of Portugal, and although many visitors now stay for
weekend
breaks rather than for a week at a time, Blackpool remains a major
summer
entertainment venue, specialising in
variety shows featuring well-known TV entertainers. Outside the main
holiday season, the Blackpool Winter Gardens hosts major
political and trade union conferences, ranging from the
Conservative Party and the TGWU with thousands of delegates and
visitors, to smaller gatherings such as the CWU or NUS
conferences.
Blackpool Illuminations run through September and October and
the extravagent lighting displays and collages run along the entire
length of the sea front (11 km/7 miles), attracting many visitors at a
time when other holiday season for many resorts have ended.
If you are planning a holiday or short break in
Blackpool there are many attractions to visit, including the Blackpool
Pleasure Beach,
Blackpool
Tower,
Blackpool Circus, Sandcastle
Waterpark
and Blackpool
Illuminations.
Blackpool is also the home of fantastic
events like Showzam,
Veterans Week, National Veterans Day, UDO Street Dance Champonships,
Beach
Volleyball
and Out2Dance. There are great shows at the Blackpool
Opera House,
Grand
Theatre, Pleasure
Beach, Pier
and Tower
Circus.
