A Festival-staple and family must-see; we invite you to pop-by — or indeed, spend the day with us — at the Museum of Liverpool (Pier Head). ❤️📍🔱

There, we’ve a veritable array of activity to entertain kids (and adults) of all ages.

The Armagh Rhymers return with their (exclusive to the Festival) Liver Bird story. We’ll introduce visitors to Little Globy, a carbon boffin-extraordinaire and a global ambassador for green action. The Bolger-Cunningham Dance School will give it their all in the morning, before the George Ferguson School for Irish Dance will produce junior and senior dance sets, whilst Melody Makers and Comhaltas will bring their intergenerational group to play in the space.

There’ll be craft workshops in education spaces and Irish Trails through the Museum’s collections, led by volunteers from the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail.

The day puts the Irish of Liverpool at the heart of everything; the programme, the Museum and the city.
