Days out in Southport

Live the beach life in Southport; with 22 miles of coastline and plenty of beaches, it’s a perfect place to relax and unwind. The classic seaside resort has scenic parks and gardens, fabulous shopping, exciting nightlife and a mouth-watering array of restaurants. Traditional seaside amusements await; stroll down the UK’s oldest iron pier and try the old penny slot machines in the Pavilion at the far end, or ride traditional carousels at Funland.

Family attractions include Southport Pleasureland, Splash World waterpark, Martin Mere and Farmer Ted’s. The Atkinson is an £18 million arts venue set in a Grade II listed building. With beautifully restored art galleries and a theatre, it hosts all kinds of visual and performing arts events.

Southport’s extensive events programme includes the British Musical Fireworks Championships, Southport Food and Drink Festival, Southport Air Show, Southport Flower Show, Southport Festival and Southport Comedy Festival. Something for everyone!

Southport is part of England’s Golf Coast and is home to seven championship courses including Royal Birkdale.
