Liverpool City Council is inviting residents, creatives, organisations, and cultural partners to take part in the public consultation for their new draft Cultural Strategy 2025–2030, Culture Makes Liverpool.
The draft strategy sets out their collective vision for how culture can continue to shape, inspire, and strengthen Liverpool over the next five years. It builds on the foundation of their 2020 strategy, reflecting the lessons learned during the pandemic and responding to the city’s changing social, economic, and environmental landscape.
They’re holding this consultation because they believe the cultural future of Liverpool must be shaped by the people who live, work, and create here. Your voice matters – whether you’re an artist, a community leader, a cultural organisation, or a resident with ideas about how culture can better serve your neighbourhood.
The strategy outlines four key priorities:
- Culture Strengthening our Communities
- Culture Celebrating our Place
- Culture Supporting our People
- Culture Growing our Economy
It is also underpinned by three core principles: collaboration & resilience, equality & inclusivity, and environmental sustainability. Through this consultation, they want to hear your views on how well the strategy reflects these goals – and how we can improve it.
They are particularly keen to hear from underrepresented voices and communities who want to help shape a more inclusive cultural future for Liverpool.
The consultation will run from 23rd May to 27th June and includes an online survey as well as in-person workshops to be arranged.
