With a career spanning more than fifty years, popular radio host, TV personality, author and avid charity fundraiser, Pete Price is most probably known today for only one thing, being a shape-shifting Lizard. But why?
The Lizard of Liverpool explores the origins of how a once popular media personality became the punchline to a convoluted joke and conspiracy. Through exclusive interviews with local Liverpool personalities including Pete Price himself, it hopes to discover who is behind this scathing campaign. Why is a radio host now the subject of a strange, viral trend? And why is Hulk Hogan a prime suspect?

For the first time ever, the Academy Award® winning film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, is coming to Liverpool this Autumn.
This masterpiece of film animation will be shown on a huge HD screen and will be accompanied by a live orchestra, turntables and percussion playing the music from the score and soundtrack.
The one-of-a-kind show is ground-breaking in replication of the film’s score and soundtrack, fusing elements of orchestral and electronic music.
Following a sell-out 2022 tour, the Queen of History, Lucy Worsley, is heading back out on the road to share stories from the fascinating life of the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie.
In these unique, live illustrated talks, Lucy will present one of the most elusive and enigmatic figures of the twentieth century. Agatha went surfing in Hawaii, she loved fast cars, and she was intrigued by the new science of psychology, which helped her through devastating mental illness. So why – despite all the evidence to the contrary – did she present herself as a retiring Edwardian lady of leisure?
Sharing her research based on the writer’s personal letters and papers, Lucy will uncover the real Agatha Christie – the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman.
This promises to be an entertaining and enlightening evening, emphasising not just Agatha’s unique gifts as a storyteller but her revolutionary qualities as a determined, successful and thoroughly modern woman.
Lucy is Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces and a hugely popular writer, broadcaster and speaker. Her recent TV series include Blitz Spirit with Lucy Worsley (BBC One) and Lucy Worsley Investigates (BBC Two). Lucy has an OBE for services to history, and her series Suffragettes with Lucy Worsley won a BAFTA.
Oppenheimer is an IMAX®-shot epic thriller that thrusts audiences into the pulse-pounding paradox of the enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it.

Oscar® winner Matt Damon portrays General Leslie Groves Jr., director of the Manhattan Project, and Robert Downey, Jr. plays Lewis Strauss, a founding commissioner of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.
Academy Award® nominee Florence Pugh plays psychiatrist Jean Tatlock, Benny Safdie plays theoretical physicist Edward Teller, Michael Angarano plays Robert Serber and Josh Hartnett plays pioneering American nuclear scientist Ernest Lawrence.
