Surviving the School Holidays: Tips for Parents

School holidays can be both a blessing and a challenge. A rough schedule combining activities, outings and downtime can give children structure while keeping days flexible.

Explore parks, nature reserves and beaches, encourage arts and crafts, limit screen time and ask family or friends for help when needed.

Most importantly, relax expectations and enjoy the slower moments together. A Southport family break can provide a change of scene without overcomplicating the holiday.

Exploring Royal Birkdale: England’s Iconic Links Golf Course

Nestled along the windswept coastline of Southport, Merseyside, Royal Birkdale Golf Club stands as a testament to the enduring allure of links golf. Established in 1889 and relocated to its current site in 1897, the club has been a cornerstone of British golf history, earning its “Royal” designation in 1951.

Royal Birkdale has hosted The Open Championship ten times, with notable winners including Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, and Jordan Spieth. Beyond The Open, the course has hosted the Ryder Cup, Women’s British Open and Senior Open Championship.

Designed by George Lowe and later refined by Frederick G. Hawtree and J.H. Taylor, the 18-hole layout is renowned for its strategic routing through towering sand dunes. For those seeking world-class links golf, its proximity to Hillside and Southport & Ainsdale makes Southport an ideal base.
