 🎥 We sent our camera backstage to meet the cast and get a tour of some of the most spectacular sets you’ve ever seen.

Over the next month you’re invited to enter a world of splendour and romance, of eye-popping excess, of glitz, grandeur, and glory. Baz Luhrmann’s revolutionary film comes to life onstage, remixed in a new musical mash-up extravaganza.

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.🎥

Claire House Children’s Hospice is celebrating today after planning permission was granted for a new 24/7 hospice in Liverpool! 🫶

The plans would transform the charity’s West Derby site into a full children’s hospice, bringing vital care closer to home for hundreds of seriously ill babies, children and young adults across Liverpool and surrounding areas.

For many families, distance has long been one of the biggest barriers to accessing hospice care when they need it most. Long, exhausting journeys to the charity’s Wirral hospice have often meant families spending precious time travelling, rather than being together.

We caught up with David Pastor, CEO of Claire House Children’s Hospice, as well as members of the charity’s community to hear how this will transform their lives. 🩵
