From thrilling rides to free events, all the things to do in Blackpool in 2023

For generations people have flocked to Blackpool for staycations and day trips. It’s perhaps the most iconic seaside resort in the country and a firm favourite with Manc families.

Now that spring is finally here and the Easter holidays are just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to start planning a trip to this iconic destination. The town is already gearing up for a bumper 2023 and it kicked it off with the reopening of Blackpool Pleasure Beach on March 18.

If you are an adrenaline junkie be sure to have a ride on the Big Dipper this year as it celebrates its 100th birthday. Of course there’s much more to Blackpool than just thrilling rides; the resort boasts a range of attractions from Blackpool Zoo to the Winter Gardens.
