September 2025 Blackpool Illuminations till January 2026 Have you seen them? The sort of spectacle that everyone should see at least once. For generations, children and adults alike have been entranced by the spellbinding seafront spectacle which bathes the promenade with more than a million magical bulbs in a shimmering sea of light. The greatest free light show on earth has been a major part of Blackpool’s attraction scene since 1879 when they were described as ‘artificial sunshine’.. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience miles of festoon, larger-than-life tableaux, illuminated trams, instagrammable features, laser technology and stunning projection shows during the dark winter months. 21st September The Salt Path - Chorley Little Theatre Based on the bestselling memoir by Raynor Winn, The Salt Path tells the profound true story of husband and wife, Ray and Moth, a couple forced to rebuild their lives after losing their home and receiving devastating news. With Moth diagnosed with a terminal neurodegenerative disease and nowhere else to turn, they make the bold decision to walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path, England’s longest national trail. As they navigate rugged cliffs, windswept beaches, and unpredictable weather, their journey becomes one of survival, self-discovery, and unwavering love. Facing both the kindness and indifference of strangers, Ray and Moth confront their past while finding hope in the breathtaking beauty of the world around them. Time. 7.30pm.
