Running for almost a mile along the border of Victoria Park (home to the Southport Flower Show) this delightful floral border is kept in all it’s glory by an enthusiastic group of volunteers who must be commended. Drive, or better still walk, down to appreciate this magnificent free show.

I haven’t been here since I was a very young child & it brought so so many happy childhood memories to my mind, however don’t remember it being so big. What I really found interesting is the quiz they give you upon entry & counting the fairies (darn ... we missed one pesky one)!! As I personally think that keeps people (young or old) entertained whilst still enjoying the experience and I mentioned this to the lady as we were leaving (sorry, didn’t get your name) and I told her how enjoyable it was (thanks for the map!!) and apparently they try to change the quiz & hidden figures throughout the different seasons. One thing I didn’t realise after speaking to a member of staff half way through how difficult it was for them to keep this running throughout the extremely hot weather the UK has recently been experiencing so well done for all staff to ensure members of the public could still come in & enjoy this, reliving some childhood memories like I did during the heatwave!!!! Would definitely recommend this to anyone, young or old, suitable for disabled to just go and have the same experience as we did xx

Interesting and unusual museum. This place is well worth a visit if you're on holiday in Southport, you've got to definitely go and see this place. It's Not far from the town centre. Great attraction. Learn the history about the lawnmower. I couldn't believe that I saw Princess Diane's lawnmower! I was shocked. Everything is restored. It's an amazing place so don't miss out on this attraction. You'll kick yourself if you don't go. I was there for 3 hours
