Liverpool Irish Festival invite you to meet our volunteer History Research Group, led by ArtsGroupie Director John Maguire.

Responsible for unveiling the research that now populates the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail’s site information, this group have been central to the Trail’s revitalisation, collectively spending 850+ hours on research! Closely linked with the development of this year’s book release –Liverpool Irish Famine Trail: Revive– the team discuss their findings and research activity in a presentation followed by a Q&A session. Details will also be shared about how to apply to be involved in the next stage of work, as we continue to develop the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail. For more information on the Trail visit liverpoolirishfaminetrail.com All the Festival’s Trail work has been supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

This event contributes to the Festival’s Heritage and Irish Famine work strand  (🔱) and takes place as part of the Family Day at Museum of Liverpool. The Family Day is sponsored by Tourism Ireland.
