Welcome To
The New Brighton UK Promenade.

The New Brighton promenade starts at the Secombe Mersey Ferry Terminal and passes Egremont on its way to New Brighton. In times gone by, it was possible to catch a tram to New Brighton, with a clear view across the River Mersey, taking in the Liverpool skyline and watch the ships and ferries earn their living as they labour on the Mersey estuary.

March, The New Brighton Egg Run.
Easter and Summer School holidays (Travelling Fun Fair).
July, The Wirral Show .
Various motor sporting events throughout the years.
Sea Fishing competitions.
