Christmas in Blackpool 2024

Blackpool’s spectacular Christmas By The Sea village is returning for 2024 – and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever!

Friday 15 November to Sunday 5 January

Visit Blackpool has confirmed that the hugely-popular outdoor village will open with an exciting range of festive family attractions – plus extended opening hours for the free skating rink (open every day until 5 January 2025 – barring Christmas Day). Last year, Christmas By The Sea, delivered record visitor numbers on the seafront during the winter months.

This year’s village will include festive light installations and projection shows, themed log cabins with food, drink and gifts, artificial snowfalls, Christmas trees and festive tram rides. Christmas By The Sea will again be complemented by a full Illuminations display along the seafront.
