The Southport Group Travel Day will take place on Monday 24 April 2023. Arranged by Visit Southport in conjunction with travel trade specialists Steve Reed Tourism, the event will feature a mini exhibition of local and regional attractions in the morning and the option of a highly enjoyable coach tour and FAM trip around some of Southport’s main tourist sites during the afternoon. 

The free event will showcase many of the resort’s key group attractions such as Churchtown Botanical Gardens; Lord Street; the Atkinson Art Gallery and Museum; Southport Pier and Martin Mere Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust. Some delegates who choose to stay overnight during the event may wish to see some of the attractions further afield such as for example, Anthony Gormley’s ‘Another Place’ artworks on Crosby beach and the Formby Red Squirrels Reserve. 

The event will commence at the venue for the exhibition at 10.00 and conclude after the FAM coach tour at 17.00. 

Steve Christian says: “Coach operators will also be given the opportunity to stay overnight in Southport with a special rate provided by local hotels. Those delegates who simply wish to meet the exhibitors in the morning session and pass on the coach tour in the afternoon can do so.”

CTA coach operators wishing to attend this event should email steve@stevereedtourism.co.uk with details of attendees, name of organisation and contact information. Places are limited and subject to eligibility and availability. Maximum two delegates per organisation.
