Southport is a little cultural hot spot of theatre, music, plays, musicals, and performances in venues and festivals throughout the year!
The Atkinson, located in the heart of Southport, is a cultural venue in the town and includes a theatre, art galleries, a library, and a museum. The theater at The Atkinson hosts a range of performances, including drama, music, dance, and comedy.
In addition to these larger venues, there are also smaller local theatres, such as the Southport Little Theatre, community theatres, and amateur dramatic groups that contribute to the theater scene in Southport. These smaller theatres often stage productions from local talent and offer opportunities for aspiring actors, playwrights, and directors to showcase their work.
From raving in the park to enjoying Jazz fusion, Southport isn't short of diverse musical events throughout the year - this is what makes Southport a destination to visit all year!
