Carousel Hotel, New South Promenade, Blackpool
A modern hotel with a fantastic, prime location on the South Promenade. With stunning sea views and within walking distance of the many attractions, exceptional experience and dedicated family friendly service, it really is one of the resort’s best places to stay. (lift)
Day One
Depart from your selected joining point and travel to the Carousel Hotel, Blackpool. Comfort stops will be made en-route.
Day Two
The charming city of Lancasters cobbled streets, quaint alleyways, and Georgian buildings create a picturesque atmosphere. There is a pedestrianised Market Square and the castle is well worth a visit. It has served as a royal residence, a prison, and even a courthouse. You can learn about the notorious witch trials that took place and explore the prison cells, dungeons, and courtrooms. After lunch, head back to Blackpool and enjoy some free time at leisure.
Day Three
Bury Market is award-winning, offering an impressive range of products and excellent facilities. The stunning Market Hall, with its unique 'bird-wing' roof, is a standout feature. As night falls, our coach will take you through the enchanting Blackpool Illuminations.
Day Four
In Blackpool, iconic symbols like the Tower, piers, and trams await. The lively Golden Mile offers something for everyone. Enjoy a leisurely day, perhaps with a tram ride or a stroll along the beach.
Day Five
After breakfast you leave Blackpool to start the journey home. Comfort stops will be made en-route.
