About

Join us once again in Blackpool for one of the friendliest fixtures in the bowling calendar — the Illuminations Bowling Festival 2026! With top-class greens, a fantastic social atmosphere, and the famous seafront lights as your backdrop, it’s a week of great bowling and seaside fun.

Our main base will once again be the Cliffs Hotel, where guests can enjoy comfortable rooms (many with sea views), 25% off drinks, nightly entertainment and bingo, and of course, the friendly hospitality our bowlers have come to love.

In response to guest feedback, we’ve also secured additional single rooms at the Norbreck Castle Hotel to accommodate those who prefer their own space. Guests choosing this option will be based at the Norbreck for all their meals, but are warmly encouraged to attend the festival activities at the Cliffs, where all meetings, entertainment, and presentations take place.

Those staying at the Norbreck will need to make their own way to the Cliffs — either by car or tram — and collect their programmes and bus passes on arrival from the Cliffs Hotel.

With prices from £349 to £419 per person (half board) and deposits of just £50, this popular event offers great value, friendly competition, and a chance to experience the famous Blackpool Illuminations in great company.

Secure your place today — we can’t wait to welcome you back!
