Blackpool is one of the UK’s best-loved beach resorts, with its famed illuminations, two world-class ballrooms and a welcoming family atmosphere. Favoured by a host of celebrities, this city boasts some of the UK’s most popular attractions:

Blackpool Tower Dungeon

This educational, entertaining and deliciously scary day out takes visitors back through 1000 years of Blackpool’s most blood-curdling history!

Guests will undergo some truly terrifying ordeals, such as escaping the mirror maze of horrors and discovering the gruesome truth about torture instruments of old times. They can then stand trial against the high judge at the old Blackpool court and be sentenced to death on the Extremis drop ride. Definitely not for the faint-hearted!

Guests are then invited to step onto the SkyWalk, a glass walkway that gives you a birds-eye view of the city, before marvelling at the Eye’s incredible, floor-to-ceiling views across Blackpool and beyond.
