Arranged by Visit Southport, in conjunction with travel trade specialists Steve Reed Tourism Ltd, the Southport Group Travel Day on Monday 24 April, 2023 will feature a superb mini exhibition of local and regional attractions in the morning, with the option of a highly enjoyable coach tour and fam trip around some of Southport’s main tourist sites during the afternoon.

This free event will showcase many of the resort’s key group attractions, such as Churchtown Botanical Gardens, Lord Street, the Atkinson Art Gallery and Museum, Southport Pier and Martin Mere Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. Choose to stay overnight and you can also sample some of the attractions further afield, such Anthony Gormley’s ‘Another Place’ artworks on Crosby beach and the Formby Red Squirrels Reserve. The event will be captured on film by Eastwood Media of North Wales who, working with Steve Reed Tourism, will distribute the finished short film to the UK travel trade.

“We’re very keen to highlight Southport’s excellent and group-friendly attractions, and tour planners will receive a warm welcome to this exciting event,” says Steve Christian, Destination Development Officer for Visit Southport (visitsouthport.com). “Coach operators will also be given the opportunity to stay overnight in Southport with a special rate provided by local hotels.”
