Welcome to Southport - England's Classic Resort

There's never been a better time to visit Southport! With Christmas Lights twinkling across the town and shop windows bursting with gift ideas. Don't forget the Christmas Street Market from 11th - 14th December or Southport Theatre's classic pantomime 'Cinderella'.

With nearby Liverpool celebrating 2008 as its year of European Capital of Culture and the opening of new attractions and hotels, Southport is the perfect short break or day trip destination, with beautiful beaches, great attractions, superb shopping, a mouth-watering array of restaurants and lots, lots more.

There's also one of the best event programmes in the country - which includes the Southport Flower Show, Southport Airshow, British Musical Fireworks Championships, Southport Food & Drink Festival, The Southport International Jazz Festival, Summer Classics and many more. Check out the 2009 dates for your diary!

Southport is widely regarded 'England's Golfing Capital' with seven championship courses including Royal Birkdale, which recently hosted The Open in July 2008. The town is at the centre of 'England's Golf Coast' and over twenty courses including the '3 Royals' can be reached in under an hour.

Add to this a vibrant and exciting night-life and some of the most scenic parks and gardens you're ever likely to visit and you'll appreciate why Southport is indeed England's Classic Resort.
