Save the dates in your diary! Wirral Open Studio Tour returns this June with its biggest event yet. Throughout the weekend of Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th June, over 100 artists from across the peninsula will invite the public into their studios and creative spaces.
Now in its 15th year of celebrating visual arts across the peninsula, the tour has become a firm favourite with art lovers, with thousands of visitors finding inspiration each year from the incredible talent that Wirral has to offer.
The FREE event offers an exciting opportunity to meet artists and find out more about their creative processes, look around some of their working spaces and perhaps take home a piece of unique art.
Alongside tour regulars, there will be work from 31 new artists to enjoy and around 60 venues to explore this year. From painting, printmaking, ceramics and sculpture to glass, textiles, photography and woodworking, there’s something that will appeal to everyone.
“This special weekend is a wonderful chance for people to get a ‘behind the scenes’ look at spaces not usually open to the public,” tour organiser and glass artist Helen Smith says.
“And with so many artists taking part this year at locations across the whole peninsula, the printed brochure and interactive map on our website will really help you plan your weekend.”
All studios are open from 10am – 5pm on Saturday 14th June and Sunday 15th June, with a selection also open from 6pm – 9pm on Friday 13th June.
Visit the wirralarts.com website for more information and to download the free tour brochure listing all the artists and venue locations. You’ll also find printed copies at galleries, cafes, community centres and libraries in the run-up to the event.

If you have a dad, are a dad or have a special father figure in your life – this day is for you. Head along to South Liverpool’s hidden gem, Sudley House, to celebrate Father’s Day.
Visitors can hear the sounds of the Bebington Bittermen fill the rooms of Sudley house, a choir of ordinary blokes who make an extraordinary sound from Georgian laments, to the West Coast sounds of the 1960s, to straight-up sea shanties.
Meet the Bootle tool shed, find out abut the work they do and find out how to make your own children’s busy board.
And finally get the whole family involved in their Sudley Bug hunt and find out what critters live around the gardens surrounding the house.
Get creative in Tate Liverpool’s Learning Space this festive season.
Head to the Monster Den in the gallery’s Learning Space and enjoy free winter activities designed by artist John Powell Jones. Create your own monster mask – make it your favourite colour and add unique features such as extra eyes or colourful cheeks! You could make it as friendly or as scary as you like. You might find inspiration from comic books, gaming or science fiction – just like John!
These creative activities are suitable for children aged 5-11 and their families.
A warm welcome to Sudley House for all visitors as they celebrate Mothering Sunday at the start of spring in one of Liverpool’s most cherished heritage attractions.
Visitors will be able to create their own wildflower mini meadow to take home, turn their hand at mono-printing using pressed flowers and inspiration from our collections and be treated choral performances through the day.
If you haven’t visited this jewel in Liverpool’s crown you can expect a very warm reception in the peaceful and relaxed environment that makes Sudley such a beloved retreat for their regulars.
Whether you are a mum, have a mum, know a mum or are remembering a special mum, everyone is very welcome to join them in this annual celebration.
