This month InvestSefton is holding another two, free events to support local businesses.

Two workshops to inspire hospitality businesses to take their guest experience to the next level will take place at The Bold Hotel, on Lord Street, Southport town centre, on Monday 13th April and Tuesday 14th April 2026.

Monday’s event opens at 5.30pm with the workshop, led by Andrew Kemsley of 10 Hospitality, from 6pm to 8pm. Tuesday’s event opens at 10am with Andrew leading the event from 10.30am to 12.30pm.

Over 100 local businesses have already attended the free events InvestSefton is organising. 

As well as hospitality and the Next Level Visitor & Guest Experience, they have covered Developing an Experience and Social Media & Marketing.

After January’s hospitality workshop’s Jeanette from The Bold Hotel said:
“The InvestSefton workshops are truly inspiring and incredibly worthwhile.

“In particular, the hospitality workshop stood out, with Andrew Kemsley being an outstanding speaker who shared insights that were both practical and motivating.

“Anyone working in retail or hospitality would have found this session absolutely amazing and incredibly valuable.

“We will definitely be attending future workshops and would highly recommend them.”

Louise & Paul from Hoghton Lounge Bar said, in January,:
“We absolutely loved attending the series of workshops recently run by Invest Sefton.

“The sessions were extremely useful for us, offering tangible advice, information and ideas about how to grow your business and link in with the exciting events happening in Southport this year. They were well organised and enjoyable. The team, as always, were so helpful, going above and beyond to offer their help and support wherever possible.

“Sharon, Kris, Tracy & Kayleigh were all fantastic with their knowledge & expertise! Being a small business in the current climate presents many challenges and hurdles so to have InvestSefton and their sessions available to us for free has been greatly appreciated by us!

“A huge thank you!”

Two further hospitality workshops are scheduled for Monday 8th and Tuesday 9th June 2026.
