Day One

Depart from your selected joining point and travel to Blackpool and the Queens Hotel for your four nights stay. Comfort stops will be made en-route.

Day Two

Southport is a classic seaside resort with quaint tearooms, a tree-lined Victorian boulevard, the country's oldest iron pier and quirky delights. Then visit the wonderful Bygone Times antiques and collectables centre, with everything from vintage clothing to collectable artwork and memorabilia from yesteryear.

Day Three

Voted Britain's favourite Market again in 2022, explore Bury's traditional, award-winning market, which oozes charisma and atmosphere. The range of products and facilities are second to none and the ambience and layout offers visitors the opportunity to seek out and visit every stall. The Market Hall itself is architecturally striking with its 'bird-wing' roof. This evening the coach will take you through the famous Illuminations. Displayed over six miles and using over one million bulbs, they are an awesome spectacle.

Day Four

The Tower, piers and trams are well known symbols of Blackpool. On the buzz of the Golden Mile, there is something for everyone. Spend the day at leisure, perhaps take a trip along the promenade on a restored vintage tram, visit Madame Taussards or visit the Sea Life Centre

Day Five

After breakfast you leave Blackpool to start the journey home. Comfort stops will be made en-route.

Please Note

It may be necessary under certain circumstances for these excursions to be operated on different days to those shown.
