A warm and open arms welcome

Southport is the Capital of England's Golf Coast, and this summer the world is watching as we host the 154th Open Championship at Royal Birkdale, one of golf's most iconic links courses. Whether you're here for one unforgettable day or making a week of it, this is your hub for everything you need to plan your visit and stay, before you arrive, while you're here, and long after the final putt drops.

Open for golf. Open for families. Open for food lovers, nature lovers and night owls. Open for a quick visit or a summer-long love affair. However you want to experience it, Southport is open for you, during The Open, and every day beyond it.

From the Championship week to golden summer evenings, Southport is open for all ways, all seasons, all visitors. And when summer calls again, come back.
