Seaside Bank holidays are an established British tradition, especially at Blackpool which is the country’s favourite coastal resort.  The promenade and beach as well as the tower and many other attractions have contributed to the appeal of the town.  Blackpool bank holidays have continued to be popular to the present day.  The spring bank period which generally takes place towards the end of May is an opportunity to enjoy the entertainments, and attractions providing a welcome early season break. This is the traditional Whitsun holiday. The weekends tend to be particularly busy. August bank holiday is another popular period with the familiar scenes of crowds of holiday makers thronging the beach and promenade and lines of people queuing up to go on the rides  and buy ice creams.     A sunny Bank Holiday in Blackpool has a special appeal to people.
