Southport is set to glow this February half term as Lightport, a brand-new free immersive light art experience, takes over Lord Street for three magical evenings to mark the start of Southport 2026, a year-long cultural calendar of events in the town.

Running from 14–16 February, Lightport will invite families, friends and visitors of all ages to step into a vibrant world of colour, sound and movement.

The event marks the opening moment of Southport 2026, a year-long celebration of the town’s Elegantly Eccentric past, present and future. Using cutting-edge lighting technology and immersive audio, Lightport sets the tone for a year packed with culture, creativity and unforgettable experiences.
