A special preview to launch the Festival, tonight presents the exclusive first screening of our new documentary and the debut of our long-awaited book, Reveal. Three years in the making, this evening marks a milestone moment for Liverpool Irish Festival.
Documenting the 2024 Walk of the Bronze Shoes — a pilgrimage from Strokestown, Ireland to Liverpool, UK — and the creation of the Global Irish Famine Way, this book and film capture countless hours of research, endurance and dedication from our remarkable walkers and researchers.
Featuring research from the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail's History Research Group, the project has received direct support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Consul General of the North on behalf of the Government of Ireland, the Liverpool Great Hunger Commemoration Committee and generous donors who contributed through our JustGiving campaign.
Held in partnership with Boxpark, this evening highlights the Festival's commitment to telling the story of An Gorta Mór, 180-years on. Join us for this unique opportunity to witness history being revealed.
