It’s back for a brand new chapter 🏳️🌈🤩
Find out everything you need to know about Liverpool’s Pride and how you can celebrate on Saturday 26 July, this time on the waterfront and at the M&S Bank Arena.
We meet Sahir House boss Ant Hopkinson, Culture Liverpool boss Claire McColgan and Cllr Harry Doyle to find out more. 🌈🤩
The March will start around 11:30am at Pier Head, with people invited to gather from 9:30am for speeches and a vigil.
The march will be led by a representative group of local trans community members, organised by Protest Scouse Dolls. Following them, disabled and neurodivergent people will be invited to march in solidarity, highlighting the importance of visibility and inclusion for those who have too often been overlooked or left behind. They will set the pace for the march – slow, steady, inclusive and accessible.
After this, the march will proceed in a fluid, non-hierarchical format with no rigid blocks or separation. All attendees are expected to march peacefully and supportively, celebrating community, diversity, and togetherness.

1. Start at George’s Parade, in front of the Three Graces.

7. Walk alongside the Royal Albert Dock.
8. Cross Gower Street (marshalled pedestrian crossing).

This summer you can experience art like you’ve never experienced before 😍
Beyond Van Gogh is back and this time you can also immerse yourself into the work of Monet too. Rach is with producer Bill Elms to get all the info you need.
You can catch this incredible walk-through adventure now until 15th August at Exhibition Centre Liverpool.
In Beyond Van Gogh a winding path will take art lovers along a Sunflower Alley between images of Vincent’s houses and landscapes with the route flanked by a host of bright giant blooms, while there are also benches where people can pause, contemplate and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.
And for Beyond Monet, the Giverny Gardens will transport people to the French Impressionist’s beloved gardens where they will walk across a re-creation of the famous green bridge spanning a shimmering representation of his famous lily ponds and under arches of cascading blooms.
There are a range of ticket options including VIP Experience tickets, and new for 2025, special family tickets and ‘parent and child’ tickets which offer great savings on individual prices.
There are also other activities taking place under the artworks like Yoga, Pilates, mediation and painting sessions which will all take place within the immersive experiences.

Like the old song says ‘we do like to be beside the seaside’ and if there’s one place guaranteed to have us packing up our buckets and spades and heading to the coast, it’s Southport. 🏖️☀️
Merseyside’s favourite resort’s got 22 miles of coastline and the most gorgeous, huge sandy beach where you can have a paddle or a picnic, build a sandcastle, or just walk along and feel the sea breeze whistling past your ears.
But even if you don’t like the feel of golden gritty grains between your toes, there’s tons going on to make this super-special Sefton town so worth a visit this summer.
