Southport Christmas Spectacular 2026 : Everything you need to know

Paddington, Toy Story, and K-Pop fun set for Southport Christmas Spectacular 2026

People are invited to the Southport Christmas Spectacular this November, to celebrate the start of the Christmas season in Southport.

The family friendly event, which is free to attend, features an exciting day of children’s entertainment and festive fun at the Lord Street Bandstand on Saturday 14th November.

People can enjoy a day of live performances, including music, local dance groups, and appearances from popular children’s stars between 11am and 4pm.

Hosted by Kelly Bond and Alex Toal, the event features K-Pop and Toy Story shows, music from Ray Quinn, an appearance from Miss Rachel, and much more.

The fun doesn’t stop there, with plenty of festive activities also taking place outside of The Vincent Hotel throughout the day.

Get ready to strike a pose in a special ‘Character Zone’, where people can meet and take pictures with the official Paddington from the hit movie series.  Buzz Lightyear will also be on hand to greet fans at intervals throughout the day.

Santa will also be in attendance!  Young people can visit his magical sleigh and deliver their letters in person.

There will be Christmas craft stalls and face painting, the return of the popular giant snow globe, and a Paddington-themed ‘Kids Christmas Wellbeing Workshop’ taking place inside The Vincent Hotel.  Booking is required for the workshop.

Families can also enjoy Southport’s sparkling Christmas lights for the first time during the Southport Christmas Spectacular.

Each winter, the town bursts into colour with over 200,00 festive lights, including the signature 60ft Christmas tree and the much-loved Bear and Reindeer characters.
