A new sister venue to Waterloo's @victorssweetdelights has now opened just off Water Street, bringing a taste of the viral french desserts to the people of Liverpool 😋
We paid it a visit today during their grand opening and took a look round their new city centre venue. Not only is the sleek, floral decor beautifully done but the desserts themselves looked incredible. Our favourite had to be the mango with the passion fruit being a close second! 
Why not check out @victorspatisserie.uk this weekend at their brand new location right in the heart of the city centre 🙌

Did you know one of Europe’s biggest regeneration projects is happening right here in Liverpool❓
🌇 Something VERY special is taking shape on Liverpool’s waterfront, and we got a first look.
We recently spent time with Peel Waters Managing Director James Whittaker, who gave us a tour of Central Docks to show us the incredible transformation already underway and share his vision for what’s still to come.
As part of the Liverpool Waters regeneration, Central Docks is set to become a thriving new waterfront neighbourhood, featuring new homes, commercial and leisure spaces, community facilities and a stunning five-acre Central Park. Sitting alongside Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium and just a mile from the city centre, it’s a development that will help shape Liverpool’s future for generations.
Our cameras captured the scale of what’s happening, and we heard first-hand about the ambition behind one of Europe’s largest regeneration projects.🎥
