Thousands enjoy Ride the Lights 2017
T
housands of cyclists descended on Blackpool Promenade for the resort’s annual Ride the Lights event on Tuesday (Aug 29).
The popular free event sees the seafront stretch fully closed to vehicles for one night only between 7pm and 10pm to allow cyclists to get a sneak preview of the Blackpool Illuminations ahead of the annual Switch-On on Friday. Ride the Lights is attended by thousands of people every year and has become a firm favourite. As well as enjoying the ride, families, visitors and local residents were also well entertained at the Ride the Lights hub located at the Tower Festival Headland opposite The Blackpool Tower hosted by Radio Wave. For the second year running, riders had the opportunity to detour through the Blackpool Pleasure Beach via North Gate. Riders were greeted by a live DJ set along with Nickelodeon and Blackpool Pleasure Beach characters. Hundreds of children and families from all over the North West and beyond, attended the event and many decorated their bikes with a lights theme with 16
a myriad of colourful and exciting designs on display, including a stunning log flume-themed design and even a dodgem themed bike! Meanwhile bike doctors were on hand from CJ Cycles who assisted lots of cyclists on the night to help with their cycling needs adding an extra post at the Star Pub as well as on the Tower Festival Headland. Cllr Gillian Campbell, Deputy Leader of Blackpool Council, said: “Ride the Lights is a fantastic event that yet again proved incredibly popular. “It’s the perfect event to get people in the mood for the Illuminations Switch-On on Friday and you can sense the excitement building. “We’re also looking for the best photos from the evening so I would encourage everyone to share their pictures via our Twitter page using the hashtag #ridethelights”. Ride the Lights is the latest in a series of events designed to light up Blackpool’s summer and autumn. VisitBlackpool has already organised Blackpool Armed Forces Week and Blackpool Air Show and there’s still a lot to look forward to.

Blackpool Air Show a roaring success!
M
ore than 100,000 visitors turned out to watch the two-day Blackpool Air Show – making it one of the most successful on record. An action-packed programme featuring the likes of the RAF Typhoon, Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the Breitling Wingwalkers and the world-famous Red Arrows attracted visitors from all over the country. It was the first time that the Red Arrows had performed on both days of a Blackpool Air Show and their incredible finale received a rapturous reception from people lining the full stretch of the Promenade. Cllr Gillian Campbell, Deputy Leader of Blackpool Council, said: “Moving the Air Show from its usual Sunday and Monday to Saturday and Sunday meant that even more people got the opportunity to see this fantastic free entertainment. It was by far and away the busiest weekend we have witnessed in Blackpool this summer. “We have to give enormous credit to all the pilots who 17 incredible skills and talent, giving the showed off their tens of thousands of people attending the event an opportunity to witness some thrilling aerobatics.
“I’m very proud of everyone who took part to make the 108th annual air show a very special occasion.” As well as a range of spectacular displays, there were also a whole range of exciting sights on the ground with stalls, stands and attractions from the Red Arrows ground team; the SPAM roadshow; Arnold Clark; Simulator Supplies; 21 Game Stall; Help for Heroes; Friends of the Red Arrows; Royal British Legion; Blackpool Transport; RAFA; Love My Beach and Blood Bikes. Blackpool Air Show has now been wowing the public since 1909 when the town put on the very first official air show in the UK. That was the same year French flyer Louis Bleriot made the first historic crossing of the English Channel. Expect a similarly spectacular display next year with dates already confirmed for 2018. Save the date of Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th August 2018. The Blackpool Air Show is the latest in a series of events designed to light up Blackpool’s summer and autumn season.
