It is just a month to go until the Southport Festival and the buzz is building. The festival is funded and promoted by the BID in partnership with Visit Southport and promises to be a superb weekend of music, comedy & art.
The Southport Festival will run from the 6th to the 8th of May and will encompass the whole of the town centre, with acts performing in dozens of venues. The festival is committed to bringing together a range of cultural activity for every generation, and we are proud to support local talent. The Visit Southport events team have pulled together some superb acts from the worlds of comedy, theatre and literature to perform in a wide range of venues from the Atkinson to the Wayfarer?s arcade to various pubs, restaurants, hotels & bars around the town. Performances and activities included such diversity as watercolour demonstrations, Youth drama workshops, to jazz quartets, poetry, live comedy and book readings.
The festival is an expansion of the original Jazz festival and funding from the yourselves as business owners, via the BID, is allowing it to grow into something much bigger & better that will bring huge footfall to Southport, both from visitors & locals. We hope that we will be able to drive the event to become one of the leading art festivals in the region, and one to compete confidently on a national level.
