The great centrepiece is Marine Point, a £60 million development bringing a Morrison's supermarket, a Travelodge hotel, the Light digital cinema, Starbucks coffee shop, Home Bargins, Brooklyns restaurant and retail and leisure outlets. With over 1 million people within a 30 minute drive and excellent road, rail and bus connections Marine Point and New Brighton is set to offer visitors to this famous seaside town a fantastic day out for all the family.
New Brighton's famous waterfront has been changed with the £12million redevelopment of the historic Floral Pavilion Theatre, now with a prestigious business and leisure environment. A state-of-the-art 800 seat theatre and complementary conference and meeting venue has resulted in record breaking attendances as 305,000 people have watched the high quality programme of events between December 2008 and September 2010. Successful productions have included West End smash Buddy, tours by nationally acclaimed comedians such as Jason Manford and family orientated shows such as Cinderella and Horrible Science. With visitor numbers to the theatre alone expected to exceed 150,000 people per year New Brighton is fast becoming the place to watch quality live entertainment.
The new New Brighton is the quintessential seaside town, providing a memorable visit. Enjoy the attractions, the shore, the river breezes, and the view across the Mersey to one of the most famous skylines in the world.
