Christmas Lights switch on in Southport on Sunday afternoon.




Road closures will be in place around Lord Street from Eastbank Street to London Street for the duration of the event. The promenade will be the best way to avoid delays for drivers heading north or south.

The event itself runs from 1:00PM until after the lights switch on at 5:30PM and is always very well attended. Local Policing Team officers will be on duty around the town centre but please....LOOK AFTER YOUR STUFF! Keep purses, wallets, mobile phones etc. safe and in zipped pockets close to your body.
