This time of year, there's no better place to be than Southport!

WHEN the sun is shining, there really is no better place to be than Southport.
And fittingly, the beautiful weather comes at the same time as the start of the summer event season - a timetable jam-packed with things to do to keep everyone entertained.
In fact, there’s so much going on in England's classic resort the only problem will be trying to do it all.
The first event on the line-up, starting next week, is the four-day Southport food and drink festival taking place at various venues around the town, starting on Thursday.
The annual Ambassador Awards, rewarding local people for showing excellence in their work, is also being held and the refurbished Southport Theatre and Convention Centre has now re-opened for business with all sorts of acts booked to appear over the summer.
And next week is just the begining, there is more proof that Southport is a thriving place to live; the Southport International Jazz Festival at the end of May, Southport’s Charity Fun Fest in June, The Open Golf championship and the Southport Summer Classics concert in July, Southport Flower Show in August and lots more.
And details of all these fantastic events will be featured every week in your Southport Visiter. Just make sure you leave lots of space in your diary!
