Southport has character, from the iron pier stretching into the Irish Sea to the Victorian glasshouses in Churchtown, from Royal Birkdale's golfing tradition to the quieter areas of Ainsdale and Crossens where residents live.
But the best parts are often hard to find. Events, openings, local favourites, they’re scattered across social media, lost in WhatsApp groups, or simply go unreported.
The City Brief changes that. Each week, we deliver what actually matters in Southport, the stories, the happenings, the places, straight to your inbox. No endless scrolling. No fear of missing out. Just your town, curated for you.
