Local School Children Unveil Winning Drawings on Marine Lake Events Centre Hoardings

← Back to news & insight

Twenty-two primary school pupils from the area proudly unveiled their inspirational drawings, now displayed on the hoardings surrounding the Marine Lake Events Centre (MLEC) site.

This event was a culmination of a competition held earlier in the year by Sefton Council and its partners.

The competition encouraged children to submit illustrations on three themes:

  • What I Love About Southport

  • The Jobs I See When Thinking About Construction

  • The Things I Love About Nature and the Environment in Southport


The submissions showcased an impressive array of talent, making it challenging for the judges to select the winners.
"AFL is thrilled to have supported this initiative, with special thanks to the Tourism team at Sefton, the Southport Learning Trust, and the teachers in Southport for making it such a success for all the primary school children involved. We are excited to see the winning designs finally unveiled."
Marcel Ridyard - Associate Director at AFL

The unveiling coincides with the initial stages of demolition work inside the former Southport Theatre and Convention Centre, carried out by specialist demolition company DSM Group.

Sefton Council has also announced that ASM Global will manage the £73 million venue upon completion. The Marine Lake Events Centre will then join ASM Globa l’s network of over 350 venues worldwide, collectively hosting an astonishing 20,000 events annually across sports, music, entertainment, and business.
