Blackpool Illuminations 2012
Date: 26-09-2012
The nights are rapidly drawing in and it won’t be long before the clocks go back and we are resolutely in winter’s icy grip. Thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom as the temperature plummets – in towns across England we begin to see decorations, lights and displays go up to mark the approach of Christmas and Lytham, with its close proximity to Blackpool, is one of the best places in the country from which to enjoy the big switch on and the warming winter display of light.Visitors to Clifton Walk in the coming weeks and months will no doubt wish to combine their outing to the region’s premier collection of independent and individual shops and stores with a visit to the country’s most famous display of light with a pedigree and heritage which stretches back decades. When you think of Christmas lights, you think of Blackpool. Just like when you think of high quality local shops with friendly staff and great buys then, if you’re like the people of Lytham that is, you think of Clifton Walk.
A perfect Saturday in the coming weeks and months might involve a trip out to Clifton Walk, a browse for food or gifts in the shops, and a drive on to Blackpool for an evening out. What could be more British than helping local retailers and celebrating in local and national traditions by being proud to be part of such an iconic event? Make sure that the illuminations figure in your winter plans for 2012 and make sure Clifton Walk does too – it would be great to see you.
