About Us The Marian Centre is located on Bath Street North at the heart of Southport, behind St Marie's RC Church. We are only a few minutes walk from Lord Street and the Promenade. Regular and ad hoc hirers include: Practice Makes Perfect, Weightwatchers, Karate, Justice and Peace Commission, SPUC, the Irenaeus Project, University of the Third Age, CWL, Emmaus Family of Prayer, Anglo-Polish Society, Marine Gate Mansions Residents Committee, St Joseph's Society, St Mary's High School, Blessed Sacrament Parish. Our Mission To welcome The Marian Centre is committed to the gospel values of peace, justice and love. Through our service of others and the valuing of each individual of infinite worth – we proclaim the gospel. To share with others As Christians we cannot help but follow the instruction of the risen Lord “Go out into the whole world and make disciples of all nations.” We describe ourselves as a Centre for Evangelisation so that we can keep our minds focussed on this primary mission of the Church. Our prayer is that we can play our part in the new evangelisation and effectively share the love of God, poured out in Jesus. We model ourselves on Mary who was the first to share Jesus with the world. To praise God Mary praised God even in the midst of incredible turbulence in her life. We too know that we can only find the strength for the journey by taking time to magnify God. |
Hire the Centre The Lourdes Room A large room ideal for conferences or retreats with a modern audio visual system in place which includes a 'loop' feature for the hearing impaired. The room can comfortably seat 80 people 'theatre style' or 60 'cafe style'. There is access to a servery which has tea and coffee making facilities. The Walsingham Room A smaller room linked to the Lourdes Room is ideal for group break out sessions for your event. However it also has independent access from the main corridor so is ideal as a meeting room in its own right. Seats 16 'cafe style'. It also has use of the tea/coffee servery via a hatch. The Fatima Room This is our smallest room and is perfect for group work as part of a larger event (as it can also be accessed from the main Lourdes Room) or for a small committee meeting via its own independent access door. Its capacity is 12. The tea/coffee servery is accessible via a hatch. The Centre does not have its own car park - but there is plentiful on-street and other car parking in the local area. Also public transport links are excellent. The tariff is competitively priced with a base price of £19 per hour for the Lourdes Room and servery- but there are flexible options for putting together a very cost effective package. For example the Marian Centre has a day rate for an self managed away-day or day retreat of £100. We can also arrange catering and spiritual/liturgical input.
