Southport is one of Britain's genuine coastal gems. With its elegant Promenade, amazing Pier (the second longest in England) and exciting nightlife, this is the perfect destination for a break. It's not without good reason that some commentators have dubbed this cultivated town 'The Paris of The North', and one walk along the busy, broad, tree-lined shopping boulevard of Lord Street will soon put you in a continental mood.

What makes Southport so special is that this invigorating town is also Britain's premier destination for events and festivals. High on quality and choice.

With Golf being so important to the town, golfers have their own celebration each year when the Merseyside Festival of Golf comes to Southport. There's such a variety of colourful entertainment, such as the Merseyside International Street Festival, the Southport Carnival, and the popular. 'Music In The Park'.

Southport has something for everyone. Add all this to a stroll along the Pier, Ocean Plaza or the superb beaches, or a whiteknuckle thrill at Pleasureland, and it's easy to see why a break in Southport is so memorable.
