Can you help us support the Festival charity and its artists by making a gift or using one of the other services (below) to help us?
Have you enjoyed something at the Festival that you think is worth a reward or the value of a standard event ticket? Every donation helps. Since the pandemic, charities have witnessed devastating losses across income streams. In spite of this, we have done our best to develop a positive and exciting Festival. Coronavirus affected our ability to arrange and host events for four reasons:
- social distancing
- arts funding (we received 35% less arts funding in 2020 compared to 2019) and competition for existing funds has risen
- sponsorship, advertising and ticket sales (we 98% of 2020’s income compared with 2019)
- what we can expect from visitors 10 days as people’s confidence is slow to return.
Anything you can do to support us will help our work and benefit the charity (number 1100126) in to next year. We -the Artistic Director and Board – thank you in advance for your kind donations.

Use AmazonSmile for good
You shop. Amazon gives.
Do you shop on Amazon? Then perhaps you would consider using AmazonSmile. It’s a super-easy way to support Liverpool Irish Festival, without you having to pay any more.
What is AmazonSmile?
AmazonSmile is Amazon’s way of helping you to support the charity of your choice. AmazonSmile offers exactly the same products, prices and services as your usual Amazon, with the added benefit of being able to support the charity of your choice.
Every time you buy an eligible product, AmazonSmile donates 0.5 per cent of the net purchase price (excluding VAT, returns and shipping fees) to the charity of your choice, at no additional cost to you or your chosen charity.
You can help us support our work by doing your shopping through smile.amazon.co.uk.
What this means to Liverpool Irish Festival
Our Festival is a publicly funded charity (number 1100126). We strive to keep access to our events free or heavily subsidised, whilst we support artists and communities across the year. Any income is a help to us and means we can dedicate resources to showing off more of Ireland’s creativity and engaging communities in exciting and high quality work.
This is money that Amazon donates from its profits, rather than charging it to you. It helps us build programmes, like these.
The Festival’s Artistic Director and CEO says: “Fundraising has never been harder, with so many worthy causes to consider. The pandemic has been hard for everyone and purse strings have tightened. To use a large corporate body like Amazon to support a small organisation like ours, that benefits a community of over 20,000 users each year, is brilliant. We’d really appreciate you using this service to help our charity. I know what I’ll be doing!”.
