Overview
Blackpool has been a coach-trip town for generations, and that tradition still drives most of our bookings here. Blackpool Tower, built in 1894 and inspired by the Eiffel Tower, anchors the seafront with its Ballroom, Circus and Tower Eye observation deck, while Blackpool Pleasure Beach next door packs in over 125 rides and remains one of the UK's most-visited amusement parks for school trips and family groups alike. From September to January, the Illuminations add six miles of free lighting displays along the promenade, pulling in evening coach parties from across the North West specifically to see them. We handle coach and minibus hire for Pleasure Beach trips, Illuminations viewings, school outings, hen and stag weekends and seaside day trips, with the promenade's tram network making group drop-offs and pickups straightforward. Blackpool sits about 54 miles from Manchester, just over an hour by road, and around 250 miles from London, roughly three hours 45 minutes, with easy connections to Preston, Lytham St Annes and Lancaster.
