Day 1
Travel to Blackpool and Evening of 1940’s entertainment
Arrive at the Grand Hotel, situated on the sea front a short walk from the North Pier. If there’s time, enjoy a stroll along the promenade. Then it’s time for a very special evening. Enjoy a buffet dinner then take your seats for a special show featuring Chris Lloyd and his guest. They will take you on a trip down memory lane with great songs and nostalgia from the 1940’s and beyond.
Day 2
Heritage Tram Ride and Tower Ballroom Wurlitzer Tea Dance
A leisurely morning relaxing before we board one of Blackpool’s famous heritage trams for the short journey along the promenade to the Blackpool Tower and the equally famous Tower Ballroom. Take your seats for a lunchtime Cream Tea Dance accompanied by the Wurlitzer organ.
In the early afternoon we leave Blackpool and return home, or you may wish to extend your stay for another night
Due to the age, design and historic nature of the trams there is a high step to board all trams, this is between 12 and 16 inches (30 to 40cm) above the ground, there is often one further step inside the tram of around the same height.
Staff will help as much as they can with boarding but are unable to provide direct physical assistance.
The trams can accommodate a folded wheelchair.
(Optional) Day 3
After breakfast, begin your journey home
