Experience a magical underwater garden at the Palm House this October

Sefton Park Park Palm House will host their annual Henry Yates Thompson fundraising dinner on October 12 (7.30pm start), as the Grade II* listed building transforms itself into a magical underwater garden.

Enter the Palm House which will be bathed in a magical underwater effect, with a welcome cocktail on arrival accompanied by chamber music from Q-Quartets, an exquisite dinner including a selection of wines, a full evening of entertainment including awe-inspiring aerial acrobats, stilt walkers, fireworks, groovy beats from internationally-acclaimed DJ Yousef, dance presentations from Salsa Liverpool and MD Productions and many other special surprises, all in the presence of Posiedon and his handmaiden.

This annual event recognises the building’s proud history and the generosity of Liverpool philanthropist Henry Yates Thompson, who in 1896 gifted £10,000 to enable the building of the magnificent glass house for the benefit and wellbeing of the people of Liverpool.
