Southport is set to welcome the return of the highly anticipated KC Artisan Spring Show, also known as the KC Artisan Party in the Park.
Taking place at Victoria Park on Saturday 11 April and Sunday 12 April 2026, this free-spirited outdoor festival will run from 11 am to 5pm each day, transforming the iconic green space into a lively community celebration.
The weekend features a packed programme designed for all ages, combining professional live music with local creativity.
Attendees can browse a curated selection of artisan markets showcasing handmade crafts and unique gifts from the region’s most talented makers.
For the younger crowd, the event offers a huge inflatable village, face painting, and a variety of interactive children’s activities to ensure a full day of entertainment.
A Weekend of Chart-Topping Tribute Acts
One of the main draws of the Spring Show is its electrifying lineup of tribute performances.
On Saturday, fans can enjoy hits from tributes to Sabrina Carpenter, Little Mix, and Taylor Swift, alongside a special Princess Show for the little ones.
Sunday continues the high-energy vibe with tributes to Katy Perry, Jess Glynne, ABBA, and the Spice Girls.
A representative from KC Artisan expressed their excitement about returning to the seaside town:
“After a fantastic response in previous years, we’re thrilled to bring back an even bigger and better Spring Show to Victoria Park.
“It’s the perfect way for families and friends to enjoy live music, shop local, and soak up the spring vibes, all in one beautiful park setting.”
Street Food and Artisan Markets
Beyond the stage, the festival serves as a hub for local food and drink. Delicious street food vendors will be on-site throughout the weekend, offering a wide array of treats to keep visitors fuelled.

Organised by KC Artisan, specialists in vibrant craft and entertainment markets across the North West, the show encourages visitors to book in advance for the best rates.
While tickets will be available at the door, subject to availability, advance booking via the organiser’s social channels is recommended.
