Lightpool Festival 2026

Lightpool Festival 2026

Dates: 21 Oct 2026 - 01 Nov 2026

Location: Across Venues in Blackpool - Lancashire

We’ve already surpassed the longest day and without us even realising it the days are getting shorter and summer will soon turn into autumn. For many this fills us with dread, dark afternoons and shorter days of daylight.

Thankfully, organisers in Blackpool have prepared something special to get us through this difficult season. Lightpool Festival 2026 returns to the shores of Blackpool – Wednesday 21st October – Saturday 31st October.

Three elements make up for an amazing evening with friends and family –

  1. Stunning light installations
  2. Captivating live performances
  3. Mesmerising 3D projections shows.

This award winning festival will light up your dark October day across a variety of indoor and outdoor venues in Blackpool town centre.

The event is free to attend. For further information simply visit the following website link –

Lightpool Festival will be back from 21–31 October 2026, and this year marks their 10th anniversary!
