Walkies pit-stop

Romans Market

Whether you have got a dog or not the new Romans Market Dog Cafe on Riversadale Road in Otterspool makes the perfect pit stop for your daily walk. A host of hot drinks, gourmet breakfasts, Scouse, cakes and more are available for us humans, whilst your pooch can pick up a pupcake and wash it down with a pupaccino!

Film Night

Greenland, Amazon Prime

If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that ANYTHING is possible including asteroid strikes on our planet. In Greenland which is now available on Amazon Prime you’ll find Gerard Butler fighting to save his family from an extinction level event, as a planet-destroying comet races to Earth. We give it a massive thumbs up, even if Mr. Butler does change his accent in pretty much every single scene!

Walking Route

Sefton Park

We know, we have all been doing loops of Sefton Park everyday since New Year’s Eve, but you may not have stopped to take in some of the park’s hidden gems and most beautiful sights. With The Guide Liverpool’s walking tour you’ll see the park like never before as Richie the Ranger directs you to some of its best spots.
