Community Launch of the Liverpool European Festival 2025

As the heart of the Community Launch of the Liverpool European Festival 2025, St Luke’s Bombed Out Church will burst into life with music, movement, and colour in a vibrant celebration of Europe’s rich cultural heritage. From midday, the iconic venue will host a lively and family-friendly programme featuring cultural stalls, exhibitions, and performances representing communities from across Europe—including Poland, Romania, Greece, Ukraine, the Nordic countries, and many more. Visitors will also be invited to explore a striking photographic exhibition inside the church, capturing the everyday lives, traditions, and contributions of Liverpool’s European communities. Through a compelling mix of portraits, candid scenes, and cultural moments, the display highlights the deep-rooted presence and lasting impact of European heritage in the city. Free and open to all, this vibrant event offers a unique opportunity to experience Europe’s diverse cultures—right in the heart of Liverpool.
