Starting in late November 2025, InvestSefton has launched a series of FREE workshops designed to boost your creativity, strengthen your marketing capabilities, and elevate your customer experience – giving your business the confidence to REALLY make the most of what is anticipated to be a never-before-experienced and exciting 12 months for Southport.

- Monday 24th November 2025 Workshop 1 – Developing an Experience
Think creatively to develop fresh and engaging customer focussed ideas for your business, during Southport’s biggest year yet!

- Monday 19th January 2026 Workshop 3 – Hospitality
Deliver outstanding customer service, ensuring every visitor leaves with a great impression of your business — and Southport!
InvestSefton said: “There’s no obligation to attend all three workshops in the series, you can dip in and out of the sessions that suit your business needs best, however, we recommend you attend the full workshop series to maximise your business in Southport in 2026.
“There is a choice of two times for each of the three themed workshops- either 9.30am-11.30am or 6pm-8pm.
All workshops will take place in Southport at Enterprise Arcade on Eastbank Street.
