Festival Review 2022
Each year, Liverpool Irish Festival reviews it’s work of the previous year to keep ourselves up to date, relevant and accountable. 2022 was a stellar year for the Festival, coming out of Covid-recovery measures and attracting over 40,000 visitors to 69 events and exhibitions.

Previous Festival Reviews (from 2016)
Since 2016, the Liverpool Irish Festival has written an in depth review of the year before (an annual report, if you will). The review focusses on the reach, range and experience its work provides. It has become a critical tool for understanding our workand weak points. Whilst we are extremely proud of our work, we know there is more to learn. This helps us do that.
For instance, in 2019 we connected with over 35,000 people and in 2018, we reached 32 of 40 residential post codes in Liverpool. Which are the eight missing and how can we address this? Why do we attract more women than men and is this bad thing? We managed a press reach of over 20m for two years, which dropped in 2020 – how and why?
