The event takes place between midday and 6pm with visitors invited to stay on afterwards and enjoy a meal or a drink in one of the many fantastic local restaurants, cafes or bars. 

If you’re there – we’d love to see your photos or videos in our Stand Up For Southport Facebook group

“This is my fourth time hosting this event, and it remains one of my absolute favourite moments of the year! 

“As a proud Churchtown resident, I adore everything about our little village, especially the wonderful businesses who go all out to be as festive as possible.

“As a mum to a four-year-old, I can also confirm there is no Santa quite like the one who brings the magic to Little Sparks. I can’t wait to bring Paddy again this year; even I was a little starstruck when I met him last Christmas!

“And don’t even get me started on the hot chocolate at RS Fine Chocolate, wow! Make sure you pop in, even if it’s just to try the tiny chocolate spoon!

“A small warning, though: you will leave this event feeling extremely Christmassy!”
