Southport Photographic Society Exhibition Co-ordinator Bill Gray said: 

“We are looking forward to hosting our exhibition at Wayfarers Arcade in Southport. We’d love to invite people to come and take a look. 

“Thre will be over 100 photographs on display, all taken by our members. We’re looking forward to a busy August Bank Holiday Weekend, while we’ll also be here into next week. 

“We will have people from Southport Photographic Society present throughout the event, who will be happy to chat with anyone interested in joining our group, or who is interested in learning more about photography. 

“Our display will be situated inside the main arcade, between the Wayfarers Tea Room and the Pudding & Pie cafe. There will be a range of images on show. 

“Wayfares Arcade is a beautiful venue to host an event like this. There is so much light inside, which is perfect for us. 

“They also have two excellent cafes and some great art galleries, shops and other local businesses that people can explore while they’re there. 

“Hopefully we can help to attract more footfall into the arcade.”
