Culture And Memory

Big Top

Big Top is a community heritage programme integral to Southport’s wider cultural programme in 2026. The programme takes inspiration from Southport’s long and distinctive entertainment heritage, including popular spectacle, performance, circus and public gathering, and uses this as a starting point for locally rooted heritage activity. Through Big Top, community groups are invited to explore, interpret and share the stories, places, memories and traditions that have shaped Southport as a place of leisure, creativity and collective experience. It will encourage projects that recognise heritage as something people value and want to pass on to future generations. The results of this project will be installed in a new permanent exhibition in the Atkinson Museum.
