Blackpool council has officially unveiled the full programme for the 10th Anniversary Lightpool Festival (October 21st – 31st), and it is packed with 30 incredible installations and world premieres!

What to look out for on the trail:
👉 10 World & UK Premieres: Brand-new illuminated art including Chila Burman’s glowing soft elephant, Doddz's new digital projections, and a light tribute to our finest feathered residents called What the Gull?!
👉 Town-Centre Art Trail: Light installations popping up everywhere from the Prom to the Grundy Art Gallery, Sacred Heart Church, and Abingdon Street!
👉 Carnival Magic Returns: The legendary illuminated puppets and costumed performers take over the Blackpool Tower Ballroom on Monday, October 26th!
👉 100% Free Family Fun: Staged across October half-term to give local families and visitors a world-class evening walk without spending a fortune on tickets!
