Providing a snapshot of the festival ahead, the launch welcomes everyone to come and get a taste of Ireland, with some Irish stew and a glass of the black stuff, in the natural home of Liverpool’s Irish community. There will be music, stories, speeches (only short ones allowed!) and singing for everyone to watch, listen to and take part in.

Come along and meet the #LIF2019 team; share your Irishness, raise a glass (Sláinte!/Health!) and welcome in this year’s festival, celebrating unique stories, creatively told. We look forward to greeting you.

Please note: this event runs 8pm-10pm not 6pm-8pm as noted erroneously in the brochure!
