Ivydene Guest House

Southport, a seaside town that dates back to 1792, has long been one of the most fashionable places to visit along the north-west coast. The Victorian era has left the town with a glorious legacy of spaciousness, treelined boulevards and classical buildings.

Southport Flowershow - an annual event during August, is now established as the country's largest independent Flower Show, it is unpretentious and continues to focus on the family market with plenty of attractions for children as well as spectacular designer gardens and over 1m blooms. This four day classic event, now in its 78th year, will be themed around music, celebrating the 80th anniversary of the re-location of the iconic bandstand which has continued to provide non-stop live entertainment throughout the years for Flower Show visitors and celebrity guests.
