Where’s your favourite Hidden Gem in Southport? 

The 2023 Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards has today launched the search for our region’s ‘best kept secret.’ 

It’s a category that Southport has been well represented in during recent years in a way that has really helped to put some superb local attractions and businesses on the map. 

Stand Up For Southport would love to see more Southport entries this year – please nominate here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LCRHIDDENGEM2023

The ‘Hidden Gem’ category in the Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards is sponsored by The Guide Liverpool. 

This category will be voted for by members of the public. 

Hidden Gems could be attractions, bars, restaurants, tours, or natural assets which are off the main tourism trail.
By nominating a ‘Hidden Gem,’ they could be catapulted into the Tourism Awards spotlight.

At the Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards earlier this year, we have four Southport businesses in the top 10 in Merseyside: 

Silcocks Carousel, Southport 

Southport Bijou Cinema, Southport

Tik Taco, Southport

Cranberry’s Café Southport, Southport

In 2022, Southport’s Hidden Gem entries were: 

Bijou Cinema Southport, Southport

British Lawnmower Museum, Southport

Enelles Glass House, Southport

Southport Pier Pavilion, Southport

Vintage Tea Room, Churchtown 

Where do you know of in Southport that you think deserves recognition?
