If you were in Southport last Saturday you may have seen giant beach balls flying through the air, grannies dancing Gangnam style, an exploding cake and a very large crowd singing ‘happy birthday’ to Southport Market.
The Market celebrated the its anniversary with entertainment and an outdoor market. CBeebies Star, Alex Winters performed with Mr Topper to a very large crowd in front of the Market.
The duo kept a happy crowd entertained with music, dancing and silliness – usually involving audience participation. Young fans, grandparents and parents joined in with no shortage of volunteers.
A Latin band entertained inside with visits by children’s favourite characters such as Spongebob, Peppa Pig and Spiderman.
An outdoor market included a very popular bbq, a bar, jewellery, health foods and many others.
The indoor market bustled with Blackhurst’s Butchers struggling to keep up with demand. At Mustard Coffee house the outdoor tables were in demand from diners enjoying lunch in the sunshine.
Mighty FM’s DJ’s joined in, squeezing in a live interview with Alex and compering on stage.
Alex commented how impressed he was with Southport Market:
‘ This place has been so well done… it’s great to see a Market bought back to life and events like this taking place here’.
