Various Dates
A heritage walking tour around Liverpool City Centre celebrating the life of renowned writer and one of England's first abolitionists, William Roscoe. In 1802 Roscoe wrote The Butterfly’s Ball and The Grasshopper’s Feast for his son, Robert. King George III liked it so much, he had the poem set to music. The walking tour will visit key parts of the city in relation to his work, including the former location of his father's gardening business that inspired the 19-year-old to write the poem ‘Mount Pleasant,’ and the Walker Art Gallery that now houses his former collection of Italian art. The tour will finish at the Nelson monument, Exchange Flags.
The tour begins at the Catholic Cathedral, Hope Street and will last around 2 hours.
We will be following the UK Government's guidelines on social distancing. Please bring a face covering and we encourage you to bring your own hand sanitiser.
We look forward to your cooperation to enable the tour to operate safely.
