A Festival-staple and must-see; we invite you to pop-by — or indeed, spend the day with us — at the Museum of Liverpool (Pier Head). There, we’ve a veritable array of activity to entertain kids (and adults) of all ages.
The Armagh Rhymers return with their (exclusive to the Festival) Liver Bird story helping to understand how the First Nations people of North America helped the Irish during The Great Hunger. The Bolger-Cunningham Dance School will give it their all in the morning, before the George Ferguson School for Irish Dance produce junior and senior dance sets, whilst Melody Makers will bring their intergenerational group to play in the space. You’ll also be able to collect a Brave Maeve Tír Na nÓg map. The day puts the Irish of Liverpool at the heart of everything; the programme, the Museum and the city.
Plus there’ll be Brave Maeve activities for all the family.
The Family Day is sponsored by Tourism Ireland and held in partnership with National Museums Liverpool. As part of the Family programme, you might also like the Samhain Céilí (Sun 25 Oct).
Renowned for an endless string of soulful yet socially aware hits …Forgotten Town, Ideal World, Born Again, Harvest for the World, Whats in a Word, Hooverville, Words, Father, The Bottle and many more The Christians enjoyed huge acclaim in the late 80s and early 90s both in the UK and Europe and often confused people with their band name (in fact just the brothers surname with absolutely no religious connotation!)
Still headed by enigmatic lead singer Garry Christian (who very much deserves the Daily Mirror’s description of him as having ‘one of the finest voices in pop) who has only gained in vocal stature (and wit) over the years! the band are enjoying a revival currently touring successfully in the UK and Europe.
Currently embarking on a huge UK Tour playing their well known back catalogue and one or two favourites selected from newer albums.
Catch them on tour and find out why Chris Evans said ‘it was the best gig I’ve ever been to’.

More than a decade after it was last held, the Tranmere Trust is delighted to bring back the Borough Road Shuffle. On August Bank Holiday Sunday, we’ll be bringing the SWA together with our friends at Future Yard for an afternoon and evening of live music and conversation to celebrate everything that makes our local community special.
At its heart, the Borough Road Shuffle is about bringing Tranmere fans together. Whether you’ve supported the club for decades or only recently found your way to Prenton Park, this is a chance to celebrate the vibrant community that exists around our club and our deep links with Birkenhead’s music and creative culture.
The original Borough Road Shuffle held back in 2012 – when Rovers sat top of League One – featured performances by The Loud, Oxygen Thieves and By The Sea, with Bill Ryder-Jones on DJ duties.
The Trust believes football is at its strongest when supporters come together. The stronger our community, the stronger our collective voice, and the more we can achieve for the future of Tranmere Rovers. By coming along, you’ll not only be part of a fantastic event —you’ll also be supporting the work of the Trust and helping us continue to represent fans throughout the year.
We’ll be announcing our line-up of live music, DJs, speakers and more details over the coming weeks, but as a Trust member, you’re receiving exclusive first access to tickets before they’re released more widely. Simply click on the link below to grab a ticket.
