MAY DAY FESTIVAL at The Engine Room

Join us for a day-into-night May Day festival in the historic Wayfarers Arcade, as The Engine Room relaunches as Southport’s Civic House for culture, craft and music.

Rooted in seasonal traditions but reimagined for today, the day brings together live music, dancing, making, and shared celebration—moving from an open daytime programme into an evening of performance and festivity.

Open, family-friendly, and free-flowing.
