Top things to do at half term

Why not pay us a visit Southport this Autumn and enjoy a wide range of half term and Halloween events, where you will find something for all the family.

Trick or Treat Street

Who lurks behind each door? This Halloween we are taking you trick or treating through the fully immersive, gothic Victorian street thats taking over Town Hall Gardens. Behind each door, peeping from each window are all manner of creepy characters.  But which will be waiting with a treat and which will most definitely be there to trick?
