Love Southport

We love a Southport summer staycation, and we’ve got all the ingredients you need to make it a delicious, filling and refreshing time. Mix it up one way and it’s a great alfresco family adventure, mix it up another and Southport can be a lovely little cocktail and dinner weekend too. Click below to check out accommodation.

We’ve got some highlights for you, with the beautiful Flower Show being a blooming great time. Taking place from August 18 - 21 in our beautiful Victoria Park, the show features amazing show gardens, stunning displays in the marquee, and special guests handing on their knowledge. We love seeing what our local gardeners have grown in their own Southport soil in the Amateur Growers’ Marquee - it’s not all about the professionals! And the Flower Show isn’t just for the green fingered, with live music, great food, crafts and activities for the whole family it is a fantastic, and very British, day out for all. Just the sort of thing we love in the summer.

If you like your days out a bit less planned then there is nothing better than spending time in some of our proper traditional tea shops and cafes. Take a table outside, wait for the tea, coffee and perhaps cakes to be brought to you and relax, watching the world go by. It’s a great time to slow down, take the weight off your feet and perhaps have a good look at the map - shall we go to the beach or the park next? Or shopping, if you need that perfect something for dinner that night - be that ingredients or outfit.

We love our sophisticated adventures, but sometimes we love getting our hands in the air and screaming, we love messing about in boats and we love playing hide and seek in the trees - there’s no better way of loving life. The Marine Lake has pedelos and more for hire and the King’s Gardens nearby are perfect for running and hiding! Pleasureland, our very own amusement park, has a new offer for the summer months, so non-riding spectators can enter free. If granny or granddad don’t fancy the thrills and spills then they can watch, laugh, take pictures and hold the ice creams - we love it!

Whatever you want to do, you’ll find something to love in Southport - get ready for a proper traditional day out, staycation or more!
