Taking their cue from the new Irish bank holiday, held in Brigid’s honour — and Imbolc* — the George Ferguson Dance School and Melody Makers perform a specially curated evening of song and dance.

Brigid: Initially a Pagan goddess, then canonised (proclaimed a Saint); Brigid’s popularity is on the rise as she becomes a multidenominational LGBTQ+ icon (read more here).

Following recent success at the 2024 Liverpool Irish Festival, we represent these two incredible groups. Their engaging 2-hour programme features over 50 musicians and dancers from across Merseyside. The performance takes place in one of Liverpool’s greenest spaces: the ever magnificent Sefton Park Palm House.

If October’s event was anything to go on, this is not to be missed!

We have a select number of standing tickets available, thought to be best for parents of performers. Get in early to get your standing only tickets. Please be aware this is a 2-hour show (total, plus an interval).

The Festival has long been a promoter of Brigid. You can see many of our related commissions here and here.

* Imbolc is the beginning of spring. With the Festival’s annual theme being ‘arrivals’, what better way to mark the advent of a new season than with this stunning event.
