Southport Weekender

Southport Weekender celebrates its 40th edition from 5 to 7 March 2027, transforming the Butlin's resort in Bognor Regis on England’s south coast into a major weekend of soul and house music. Since its debut in 1987, the event has grown into a diverse music celebration that brings classic and contemporary sounds together. Its indoor programme spans several rooms and arenas, including Powerhouse, Connoisseur's Corner, FunkBase and Beat Bar.

More than six thousand guests enjoy a broad mix of soul, house, funk, R&B and jazz across the three days, presented by DJs and live acts in the resort’s arenas. Bookings are primarily made with accommodation included as part of the festival package. The event is for adults aged 18 or over and offers a dance-focused atmosphere rooted in soul and house culture. The organiser will announce the full 2027 line-up in the coming months.
