It might not be the Maldives, but the Palm House in Sefton Park offers its own little slice of the tropics, especially in the summer months when Liverpool’s famed ‘giant conservatory’ is naturally warmed to balmy holiday temperatures. Even when the sun doesn’t show its face outside, there’s a raft of things to enjoy ‘under the palms’ over the summer holidays, for all ages.
Whether visitors want to craft, create, relax, meditate, learn something new or just enjoy an evening of good food and entertainment, the team at the Palm house has worked with other organisations across the city to curate a steady stream of events and activities to suit everyone.
Kate Johnson, CEO of the Palm House said: “We love being a hub for local community events, offering a variety of free activities throughout the year for our visitors of all ages. The summer holidays are a great opportunity to build up our programme with more activities to suit our younger visitors and have them enjoying the space in and outside the Palm House.
“Along with our programme of adult-events, we have craft activities, a Teddy Bear’s picnic and yoga for little ones, and older children can enjoy our inspiring art workshops here this summer. We hope these opportunities to experience the Palm House, its beautiful plants and unique atmosphere will be just the start of the memories they can make in this fabulous building.”
The summer programme kicks off with Liverpool Arab Arts Festival on Saturday 20 July, and also includes the Japanese Society North West’s Summer Matsuri on 31 August, bringing the spirit of Japan to Liverpool in this extraordinary festival.
