Blackpool's Tower Festival Headland has transformed into an outdoor winter wonderland complete with food stalls a 66ft outdoor skating rink and even some Disney stars including Snow White and her seven dwarfs thrown into the mix.

The festival features its biggest village yet and will see simulated snowfalls every half an hour on the Comedy Carpet.

Visitors can also enjoy festive tram rides, light shows and fairground rides, while cabins will sell food, drink and gifts.

One of Europe’s tallest swing rides - the 196ft tall Star Flyer – will also return to the resort.

The popular event which has been set up by Blackpool Council, Blackpool Transport and Triangle Attractions, will run until Sunday, January 5, 2025.

Take a look at some of the wonderful pictures.
