Families can get into the Christmas spirit in Southport thanks to a packed programme of festive events and activities.
The Southport business community, through Southport BID, is funding a range of festive projects and activities spanning from mid-November to early January. The events include the return of the popular Santa's Grotto, Frozen Grotto and Gingerbread Family Trail.
New additions for this year include Christmas elf trails, a Christmas carriage ride and a festive fun day on Saturday, November 19. This year, the town-wide illuminations will be enhanced by the Illustrate Illuminate Trail, which will see competition-winning entries from local young people transformed into impressive light motifs.
