In 2021, Liverpool Irish Festival began our custodianship of the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail.
We formed a volunteer History Research Group (who’ve since undertaken 1,300+ hours of research) and released a book: Liverpool Irish Famine Trail: Revive (available in the Museum’s gift shop or online).
Having trained the group in tour creation and management -and thoroughly researching the objects on display- the History Research Group will lead tours of the Museum of Liverpool’s Irish objects.
Visitors who book for these in-person tour will additionally take in the Pilotage Building, just outside the Museum. Tours are anticipated to take approximately 45-60mins, depending on audience questions. These activities have been made possible with funds from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Visitors can undertake the Irish objects tour as a self-guided trail, which requires no booking (see guide map). Paper maps can be collected (for free) from leaflet holders at the Museum.
