Southport Food and Drink Festival returns to Victoria Park

The Southport Food and Drink Festival, dubbed a “foodies paradise,” is back at Victoria Park in the town later this month. 

Treats to suit every palate will be served at the hugely popular free festival, which takes place from Friday, May 31 to Sunday, June 2.

A whole world of epicurean enchantment will be on display, from the sun-scorched Greek Isles to the snow-capped Canadian mountains, served by traders from all over the UK. 

There will be more than 50 mouthwatering street food vendors, along with another 50 artisanal producers and 17 bars to present their amazing goods and services. 

Nineteen incredible performers and bands will grace the stage throughout the three-day festival, providing entertainment. These include Clay Highway, Olivia Armstrong, the Wellbeing Choir, and The Jazzophonists.

Councillor Marion Atkinson, Leader of Sefton Council, said:

“Southport’s annual Food and Drink Festival is one of the very best free events on our tourism calendar and each year thousands of people of all ages enjoy a smorgasbord of street food, artisan produce, coffees and other refreshments.
 
“Visitors can indulge themselves as well as choose healthy alternatives as they enjoy a wonderful day out in what we hope will be a sun-drenched Victoria Park. 
 
“And don’t think once the gates close of an evening that it’s all over. There’s so much to see and enjoy in Southport and I would encourage everyone to take some time to explore all that Sefton’s spectacular coastline has to offer.”
