WELCOME Welcome to the latest season brochure for the Southport Theatre & Convention Centre - one of the most versatile venues in the North West. This season you will find a wide variety of great entertainment with something for everyone!

We are thrilled to have such a busy Summer season ahead, with more shows being booked into the venue all the time. So please keep up to date with everything that’s happening; direct at the Box Office counter, on our website, Facebook and Twitter - follow us!

Kicking off the season is the heart-warming drama Twopence To Cross The Mersey - The Stage Play.

Music fans are spoilt for choice, with Let’s Hang On bringing the music of Frankie Valli, The Bootleg Sixties showcasing that swinging decade, and Mercury - The Ultimate Queen Tribute promising to rock the venue!

Comedy is high on the agenda too, with Jasper Carrott, Roy Chubby Brown and Paddy McGuinness coming up, plus the rock ‘n’ roll fun of That’ll Be The Day. As always, we like to cater for the whole family, so little (and not-so-little) ones can enjoy Basil Brush, Sing-aLong-a Frozen, or book early for a festive treat with our traditional pantomime, Aladdin. There’s lots more on offer too, just take a look inside.

But don’t forget we are a multi-purpose venue! We offer superb facilities for conferences, weddings, banqueting and entertainment. For more information regarding these facilities and packages, please contact our Sales Team on 01704 514 770.

On behalf of the whole team, thank you for your continued support of the Southport Theatre & Convention Centre.

We all look forward to welcoming you here in the very near future.
