Cllr Marion Atkinson, Sefton Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration & Skills, said: 

“Even Santa himself knows Southport Market is the most festive, fun-filled place to be for all the family this December.

“From football to a Disney’s Frozen experience and completely free seasonal screenings, the Market has it all.

“We are ensuring everyone, young and old, is catered for this Christmas.”

A series of free festive films have been announced which will include: Elf, Nativity, It’s a Wonderful Life, The Grinch, Frozen and more. 

You can post your letters to the North Pole in the magical postbox as Santa and his Elf call in on several days throughout December.
