Dogs and their owners can join in with a free series of workshops across Blackpool, to create a light-up costume ready for Lightpool Festival.

The FREE workshops will take place in a dog friendly & relaxed environment – starting this weekend.

During the session, your creative workshop leader will guide and assist you into making your dog’s very own Lumi jacket!

Guests are then encouraged to take their dogs with light up jackets for a walk during the Illuminated Tram Parade, on Thursday 27 October.

What else is on at Lightpool Festival?

It’s part of Blackpool's award-winning Lightpool Festival.

The festival, which will take place between 20 – 28 October, will provide an amazing mix of live performance and light-based art installations.

The town will become an artistic playground, where outdoor spaces and iconic buildings will be enchanted with mesmerising light works.

Prepare to be amazed by a selection of gripping performances – from the carnival magic of Global Grooves, an explosion of dance, music and colour, to the Butterfly Ball with Silent Disco, new to this year’s Lightpool Festival.

Watch all the action unfold as a series of stunning, digitally mapped multi-media shows are projected onto the historic Blackpool Tower building. From dazzling patterns to whimsical animations, every corner becomes a canvas for pure magic.
