Welcome to Lightpool Festival 2023

Blackpool’s award winning Lightpool Festival is back with fantastical free to see entertainment from 20th - 28th October 2023.

This year let your imagination shine bright for 9 nights as we take you on a spectacular voyage into light worlds of wonder and extraordinary illuminated discovery.
