Step back in time with King’s Gardens Heritage celebrations

King’s Gardens, Southport will be blooming with a host of family fun events to celebrate its wonderful heritage.

An afternoon of fun for all is planned this weekend with fairground amusements, donkey rides, magic shows and much more on Saturday, September 9.

Taking place in the community gardens from noon, there will also be a chance to learn some circus skills in various workshops.

The heritage open day is an opportunity for everyone to experience what life was like on the land where King’s Gardens now stands.

Residents will have a chance to see how the landscape of King’s Gardens has changed throughout the years with a special photograph display and a ‘Under The Sea’ Big Draw event.

The Big Draw is a marquee moment, celebrating how the gardens and the promenade looked previously. Focusing on the times when King’s Gardens would have been ‘under the sea,’ the creative masterclass will feature a host of arts and crafts activities, including the chance to create Koinobori – a type of Japanese wind sock – to create a truly under the sea feel.
