Itinerary
Day 1Travel to Blackpool
We’ll meet you at one of our designated UK pick-up points, help you board our accessible coach and ensure you’re comfortable for the journey. All our coaches benefit from hydraulic lift or ramp access, and wheelchairs can be safely secured in place, so there’s no need to transfer to a standard seat. Similarly, all our drivers have experience working with Limitless Travellers and understand and respect individual access needs.
On arrival, the Limitless Team will help you check in. Then, you’ll have time to relax, unwind and explore your accessible room, before enjoying a delicious meal in the hotel restaurant. Your Tour Manager will round out the evening with a little entertainment for those not quite ready to hit the hay.
It is Christmas Day, and we are bringing a Santa’s sackful of festive cheer to make this a holiday to remember. There are rumours Father Christmas may make an appearance, so following a delicious group breakfast, we’ll open a few presents together. If you fancy a little fresh air and want to work up an appetite before lunch, there will also be time for a seafront walk.
The group will tuck into our mouthwatering traditional Christmas dinner, complete with all the trimmings, at the hotel. The celebrations will continue with games and entertainment organised by your fantastic Limitless tour team. Christmas on a Limitless holiday is always a special experience, and a big part of that is the people. Sharing the time with your fellow guests and Limitless staff is an unbeatable way to spend the holiday period.
Day 3Panto & Blackpool Illuminations
After getting Boxing Day off to the perfect start with a hearty breakfast, you have the opportunity to spend the morning exploring the town at your own pace. Whether you stroll along the promenade or head to the pier, there’s nothing quite like a refreshing seafront walk to blow out the cobwebs.
In the early afternoon, we will head to one of Blackpool’s top theatres for a fun-filled festive pantomime. Make sure you are ready for a little audience participation! Following the show, we will enjoy a classic fish and chips dinner, then board the coach for a tour of the city’s world-famous Illuminations. It is a beautiful end to a wonderfully relaxed day, and nothing says Christmas quite like the bright lights of Blackpool.
Day 4Blackpool Ballroom & Christmas Market
Blackpool
The Blackpool Tower Ballroom is arguably the UK’s best-known and most spectacular ballroom. Home to the Strictly Come Dancing live special, famous for its ornately decorated ceilings and elegant chandeliers, and beloved for its sprung dance floor, the Ballroom is an unforgettable destination. While there, you will have the opportunity to relax, listen to the live Wurlitzer organ, and indulge with a slice of cake and warming tea while watching dancers glide across the ballroom floor. Of course, you’re more than welcome to show off your own moves, too.
In the afternoon, we will head to one of the country’s largest Christmas markets, where you can browse the diverse stalls and treat yourself to a mulled wine (or two!). Blackpool’s Christmas by the Sea event transforms a section of the seafront into a festive village featuring alpine chalet stalls, incredible light installations and a brilliantly wintry atmosphere.
Day 5Breakfast & Travel Home
Today, your Christmas in Blackpool tour comes to an end. After breakfast at the hotel, we’ll board the accessible coach and depart for our various UK drop-off locations. Relax, reminisce with your fellow Limitless Travellers and take in the views. We’ll ensure you’re comfortable for the return journey and look forward to seeing you on your next Limitless holiday!
