LIGHTWORKS
Blackpool’s world famous Illuminations have captivated audiences for over one hundred years. In 1912 Blackpool's first ever royal visit - by Princess Louise, the 4th daughter of Queen Victoria - was celebrated with 10,000 lamps along the Promenade. Today the Illuminations have transformed into digitally-controlled features which light up the resort every autumn and attract around 3.5 million visitors each year.
