Music : Funky House, Soulful House, US House, US Garage, Hip Hop, R&B and Retro
Southport Weekender is a twice yearly music festival that attracts a 5000 capacity crowd to the indoor Pontins holiday complex in Southport, North West England. Having evolved from it’s beginnings as a soul music weekender, the 18 year old event now stands as the most musically diverse music weekender in the U.K. calendar.
An intimate crowd of dedicated dancers and discerning music lovers will be your companions at the event, which features four purpose built arenas featuring state of the art production and sound, each covering a different strand of music.
From the R&B, soul and hip hop of The Funkbase and the main room dance sounds of The Powerhouse, to the soul aficionados Connossieurs’ Corner and the eclectic styles of The B-Bar, Southport Weekender will treat you to a feast of the world’s leading DJ talent, accompanied by party starting live acts and guest PAs.
Unlike many three day events Southport Weekender provides warm, comfortable accomodation, in the form of self catering apartments, for each of their attendees. As this is included in the ticket price it’s a strong argument for Southport being the best value for money weekend event around.
Our site, which is five minutes walk from the beach and only a short distance from the coastal town of Southport, is also equipped with go cart racing, a swimming pool, 24 hour alcohol license and is tried and tested as the perfect party location.
