Whether you played with spinning tops in the 1950s, built worlds with LEGO bricks in the 1980s, or remember watching your children unwrap their first Game Boy or Barbie doll, this is your invitation to take a joyful step back in time.
Join us at the Museum of Liverpool for a special free drop-in reminiscence session all about toys, games, and childhood memories. From well-worn teddy bears to treasured board games, we’re celebrating the magic, mischief and imagination of childhood - across generations.
This welcoming, informal session is open to everyone: those who want to share their stories, those who want to listen, and those simply curious about the toys that once lit up young lives across Liverpool.
This free, informal drop-in event is a chance to share memories, spark conversations, and connect with others over a shared past—or a shared fascination with it.
Liverpool Memories is part of an ongoing programme at the Museum of Liverpool designed to bring people together through memory, conversation and community. In this relaxed and welcoming session, we’ll explore our earliest memories and the times that shaped us into the adults we became.
Our trained museum staff will be on hand to guide discussions and provide a range of handling objects, photographs, music, and other evocative materials from our collections, all carefully selected to spark memories and stories.
We believe that everyone’s story is a part of Liverpool’s story. Our museum exists not just to house objects, but to honour the voices, lives and experiences of local people. Your memories of childhood - whether vivid or vague, joyful or difficult—are part of the rich tapestry of this city.
Sessions run on the first Friday of every month in the Museum of Liverpool and are totally free so there is no need to get a ticket, just drop by on the day.
