Welcome to The Yard! 🎉

The Yard at Alcotraz has just relaunched for summer 2026, bringing an open-air prison party experience to Liverpool with cocktails, live actors, games, music and enough mischief to earn you a life sentence.

We caught up with resident troublemakers Squeaks and Haywire to get the inside scoop!

Doing time has never looked this good! 🔒

13 secondary schools across the Liverpool City Region have taken part in Stop The Bleed Day today, with around 2,200 pupils learning how to recognise and respond to a life‑threatening bleed! ⛑️

The initiative is part of a wider national effort to empower young people with the confidence and knowledge to act quickly in an emergency.

Stop the Bleed Day focuses on simple, practical techniques that can make the difference between life and death following serious injury, accidents or violence.

Injury remains the leading cause of death among children and young adults under 40, and uncontrolled bleeding is the single most preventable cause of death following trauma.

We caught up with Nikhil Misra, Director of the KnifeSavers Campaign, and some of the kids taking part to hear more!
