Illuminations Tours
We operate two types of tours of the Illuminations, running between September and November

  • Tours of the Illuminations by Tram.
    These use illuminated or vintage trams and always start from Pleasure Beach only. Tours will operate at regular intervals. Tours will operate throughout each evenings Illumination’s switch on period with the last tour leaving approximately one and a half hours prior to switch off time. Tours can take up to an hour and 20 minutes and all tours return to Pleasure Beach. The boarding stop is on the tram turning circle just off the main line, near the green inspectors office. Look out for the green circle heritage tram stop.
  • Tours of the Illuminations by Open-Top bus.
    The tour of the lights will leave from Marton Mere Holiday Centre, travel to Bispham, then via the Promenade to Starr Gate, before returning to Marton Mere. The tour runs on Monday to Friday only (not weekends). Please note that Saver Tickets and Concessionary Passes are not valid on any of our Illuminations tours.
