WELCOME TO LIVERPOOL

LIVERPOOL. The very name conjures up images of a world-beating musical heritage, two of the Premiership’s biggest football teams, a glorious maritime history and not one, but two majestically different Cathedrals.

It is now filled with fabulous new shops, has buzzing restaurants, hip hotels and trendy wine bars, as well as a world class cultural offering with the finest collection of museums and galleries outside .

This season will see the Liverpool City Region come alive with exciting events, from cultural to music, family friendly to nightlife – the packed events programme is sure to inspire a memorable visit!

Highlights this season include Memories of August 1914 where giants once again return to the city streets, Liverpool Biennial - the UK’s contemporary arts festival, a fascinating exhibition of work by Dutch artist Mondrian at , The Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club and the very first International Festival for Business (IFB 2014) complete with an accompanying cultural programme.

Seel Street and the area around it have undergone a major transformation in the past decade or so, to the point that it is now a go-to for nightlife. No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll find it here. Glamour and Latin dancers in a former Polish church: Alma de Cuba. Hawaii’an-themed cocktail bar: Aloha. Traditional pub with top-notch food: The Monro. Hot dogs, steins and a bar with a secret code: Salt Dog Slims. Arts hub specialising in whisky and real ales: MelloMello. This is without even mentioning Santa Camp & Furnace Chupitos, Almost Famous or Empire. And of course, if you’re staying out until the bitter end, The Peacock and Heebie Jeebies are always good for a dance.

Liverpool’s LGBT nightlife is centred around Dale Street, Cumberland Street and Eberle Street – all of which surround Stanley Street, the de facto heart of the city’s gay quarter. Garlands is arguably the most iconic club in the quarter, with Thursdays and Saturdays being particularly popular for fans of glamour and craziness. There are plenty of other great places to dance until sunrise, including G-Bar, Pink, Heaven, Navy Bar and Superstar Boudoir. If you want something a bit quieter, pubs in the area include The Poste House (with its upstairs disco), The Curzon and the iconic Lisbon. Alma de Cuba

The Baltic Triangle is the hippest area of the city, and has seen a sea-change in recent years. Camp and Furnace is the obvious place to start. The truly unique space houses everything from a bar packed with international beers to Eurovision parties, Scandinavian festivals, Biennial installations and weekly food slams. It’s perfectly complemented just around the corner by the Baltic Social, recently opened on the ground floor of Elevator Studios and offering a more intimate setting than its neighbour.

You should also check out Bar Four at the boutique Hard Days Night Hotel, which attracts a beautiful crowd or stylish Palm Sugar at . Palm Sugar
