Join Liverpool Irish Festival's John Maguire (also of ArtsGroupie) on a revealing journey through Liverpool city centre.
Spectators will hear about how the Victorian tragedy of the Irish Famine changed Liverpool’s streets. Trail walkers will learn about how locations were used for sanctuary, nourishment and safety. They will also hear and understand the benevolence of Liverpool’s people. Using a new trail app, headsets and recent Walk of the Bronze Shoes experience, your guide will really help you to walk in the shoes of Liverpool and Irish people 180-years ago.
The walks leave at 11am and 12.15pm. Bookers are asked to gather in the 15mins prior at the Pilotage Building (near the Museum of Liverpool), for a tour taking walkers up to Fenwick Street and back. The walk will last approximately 45mins.
Bookings for these tours will close at midday on Fri 23 Oct 2026 to allow time for processing tickets.
Meet at the waterside of the Pilotage Building, near Museum of Liverpool.
