Southport Weekender
November 7-9, 2008
Pontins Holiday Village
One of the UK's longest-running music extravaganzas, the Southport Weekender attracts a 5000 capacity crowd to the Pontins holiday complex in Southport, north-west England.
The Southport Weekenders have their roots back in October 1987, before the "Superclub" had been invented. Moving with the times, the Weekenders have set trends in fashion, showcased new and up-and-coming music and proved their staying power. With the emphasis on quality music, these events have always attracted a crowd who not only want to party hard for a whole weekend in a holiday camp, but who really care about what they are dancing to.
The holiday centre has excellent facilities including a go-cart track, restaurant, shops, heated indoor swimming pool, basketball courts, games rooms and, of course, fully-licensed bars serving the best booze 24 hours a day. Accommodation is in modern self-catering apartments, which are likely to host various alternative gatherings, parties and general tomfoolery. The entry price includes all accommodation and entertainment.
Music ranges from R&B, soul and hip-hop in The Funkbase and floor-filling dance sounds in The Powerhouse to the soul aficionado's Connoisseur's Corner and the eclectic styles of the B-Bar. The Southport crew treats you to a feast of world-class DJ talent.
