Love Your Liverpool at Christmas

Christmas isn’t cancelled. It’s just different.  

This year Christmas may look a little different but that doesn’t mean we can’t still spread some much needed festive cheer.

The Liverpool we know and love is still here. Our culture, our history, our people and our venues haven’t gone away. Put them at the heart of your Christmas.

The city is alive with trees, lights and decorations; take them all in as we countdown to a Christmas like never before.

    This year, Christmas isn’t cancelled… it’s just different and there are still plenty of things you can get up to in Liverpool this festive season whilst following social distancing rules. From pantos to craft fairs, Christmas shopping and bottomless brunch there’s still lots to do.
