The Atkinson's sandstone frontage and clock tower on Lord Street under a clear blue sky

The Atkinson

Lord Street, town centre

Address: The Atkinson, Lord Street, Southport PR8 1DB
  • Culture
  • Rain-proof ☔
  • Free

Wander the free museum and art gallery in the Atkinson, from Southport's own history to its Ancient Egypt collection, and check what's on in its theatre.

Why it's a good date: The town's arts centre packs a lot under one clock tower, and the galleries cost nothing. Make a day of it with a show in the evening. It's closed on Sundays, so go on a weekday or a Saturday.
