2026 is going to be a big year for Southport with several large-scale events taking place in the town centre as well as the return of The Open Golf to Royal Birkdale in July .

To help Sefton businesses make the most of these opportunities throughout 2026, InvestSefton in partnership with Sefton Council’s Tourism team will be running workshops to help businesses think creatively, promote more widely and deliver next level customer service plus offering a drop in for general advice, support and talk about upcoming events.

Visit our events page for more info on the workshops and to book a place and visit Southport 2026.com to see full calendar for 2026.
