Blackpool is continuing to enjoy a resurgence in popularity this year, with Time Out naming the Lancashire resort as one of the 14 best places to visit in the UK for 2026.

Noting the upcoming anniversary celebrations at Pleasure Beach Resort as a prime reason to make the trip, the magazine praised the town as offering “something for everyone.”

“Blackpool remains one of the most popular domestic holiday destinations in the UK – that’s partly down to its historic prowess, and partly its appetite for change,” wrote Time Out. “In recent years the legendary tourist town has found even more ways to attract punters, from the UK’s first ever circus museum to a hotel that was crowned the best in all of Europe.”

“Dominating local headlines in 2026 will no doubt be Pleasure Beach’s 130th birthday, which will see the opening of ‘colossal’ new swing Aviktas, the tallest rollercoaster ride of its kind in Britain, and a new Alice in Wonderland themed ice show.”
