Visitors to Southport can rock around the Christmas tree this festive season!
A 60ft illuminated tree will display a brand new interactive musical light shows, which will animate in sync with a medley of classic Christmas songs.
A rotation of two different animated shows will play on the hour throughout the daytime and early evening. Each show will last roughly ten minutes and feature some of the best known festive hits.
The landmark tree uses 25,000 LED pixels enable impressive, colour-changing animations.
From mid-November onwards, visitors can enjoy the musical light shows in the Town Hall Gardens on Lord Street.
Southport BID CEO Rachel Fitzgerald said “Southport has a growing reputation for spectacular lighting and Christmas animations. We are excited to be able to add to that offer in 2024.
The Bear and The Reindeer were introduced last year and Southport immediately fell in love with the two characters. Tens of thousands visited the Town Hall Gardens each week to take selfies and pose for pictures.
We’re expecting the new musical light show to be just as popular, and it’s just another reason for residents and visitors to engage with our town centre this festive period.”
Southport sparkles at Christmas thanks to the investment of Southport BID businesses, with an additional 200,000 lights decorating the town centre each year.
This includes the LED Christmas tree, The Boulevard of Light on Lord Street, 8 smaller illuminated trees, and further lighting initiatives across the BID area.
The Bear and The Reindeer installations will return to the town centre this Christmas in new locations on Lord Street.
The new Canopy of Light on Scarisbrick Avenue will also provide the perfect setting for those enjoying a festive tipple in the surrounding bars and clubs.
