The busy seafront attraction was given a Mexican make-over especially for the weekend so it could celebrate Dia de los Muertos in true Mexican style.

The stage area was hosted and presented by Mark Pickup, owner of Southport TV

He said: “What an event! We enjoyed two days presenting a whole host of performers to a packed-out crowd. 

“Southport Pleasureland was on fire all weekend, literally, from fire breathers to fire dancers finishing with what can only be described as two of the best firework displays I’ve ever seen in the town.

The event was marketed extensively across the region,  attracting thousands of visitors in a boost to local hotels, restaurants, shops and other local businesses. 

Southport Pleasureland owner Norman Wallis said: “We advertised throughout the region, showing that Pleasureland continues to invest in marketing and bringing people to Southport during the winter months.

“We know many people book local hotels when coming for Day of the Dead so hopefully our advertising has benefited lots of other local businesses too.”
