The Great Hunger short tour

Event Partner Liverpool Irish Festival
Admission -
Start Time 11:00 AM
End Time 12:00 PM

Join Liverpool Irish Festival‘s John Maguire (also of ArtsGroupie) on a revealing journey through Liverpool city centre. Spectators will hear about how the Victorian tragedy of the Irish Famine changed Liverpool’s streets. Trail walkers will learn about how locations were used for sanctuary, nourishment and safety. They will also hear and understand the benevolence of Liverpool’s people. Using a new trail app, headsets and recent Walk of the Bronze Shoes experience, your guide will really help you to walk in the shoes of Liverpool and Irish people 180-years ago.

This walk leaves at 11am. (There is a later walk at 12.15am.) Bookers for this walk are asked to gather from 10.45am at the Pilotage Building (near the Museum of Liverpool), for a tour taking walkers up to Fenwick Street and back. The walk will last approximately 45mins.

Bookings for these walks close at 5pm on Fri 17 Oct 2025.
