The birthplace of British guitar music. The embodiment of Northern soul and grit. The onramp for the Irish diaspora who’ve left their mark on British culture since emigrating in their droves in the 19th century. From the distant past to the recent past, Liverpool is a colourful and charismatic city that is as prized for its contemporary delights as it is for the history that seeps from the pores of its red brick warehouses and converted factories. The city is as famous for its people – for their indomitable spirit and character – as it is for the ebb and flow of the tides that wash against the docks at Bootle. Few English cities can boast a solidarity and sense of community like Liverpool, voted the fourth-friendliest city in the world. It’s the city of culture. The city of music. The city of art and food and sport. Many of the first-time visitors who flock to Liverpool do so to pay homage to its most famous export – The Beatles. The Magical Mystery Tour, which takes in the childhood homes and hangouts of the ‘60s sensations, makes for an enthralling two-hour experience that’s rich in nostalgia. Yet for all that, Liverpool is no more stuck in the 1960s than it is in the 1860s, when ships from around the globe would converge to offload salt, cotton, ceramics and timber. The city may be proud of its past but it’s one that has its sights firmly set on the future. Forward-thinking and ambitious, Liverpool is a bustling 21st century hub whose nightlife is as alluring as its business and leisure facilities. If you’re nursing the sort of thirst that water alone can’t slake, head to St Peter’s Square, where the pubs and clubs wind all the way to Concert Square, the hub that anchors the city’s vibrant nightlife. From accommodation to entertainment, Liverpool is bursting at the seams. First-time visitors may wish to check out the city’s most famous attractions, which are no less enthralling for all their popularity. From touring Liverpool FC’s famous Anfield Stadium to discovering millions of years of earth’s history crammed into the World Museum, there’s a lot going on. Hop aboard a German U-boat at Birkenhead or blast off into the furthest reaches of the galaxy, so to speak, at Spaceport. As you explore Liverpool – its listed quayside buildings, maritime museums, football stadiums and restaurants – keep The Entertainment Guide close at hand on your tablet or smartphone. 6 For offers and promotions: @entguide_liv Liverpool 2020/21 From exceptional activity centres to eclectic shops, we’ve curated the very best local attractions, leaving you with the simple task of planning your itinerary around them. How would you spend your perfect day in the city that’s brimming with choice – checking out the boutiques and bohemian bakeries in The Baltic Triangle? Shunning the sunlight and delving into the labyrinth of underground caves known as The Williamson Tunnels? Gawping at the wild beasts in Knowsley Safari Park? Your trip should be every bit as unique as you are. We’re here to point you in the right direction, but the rest – the fun part – is entirely up to you. Whether you’re visiting the city of Liverpool for business, pleasure or a little bit of both, keep this resource close at hand. The Entertainment Guide contains everything you need to turn a pleasant stay into an unforgettable one. Since the brand launch in 2000, visitors to our national website have requested recognition for the best venues throughout Great Britain and Ireland. Obviously this is very difficult with a wide range of top establishments which feature within the guides. What I decided to do was acknowledge these requests by the general public by awarding a Certificate of Excellence, which over the years now adorn the walls and receptions of many businesses. So keep posting the comments and remember if you appear in your city edition, you have been recommended or reviewed by us, so keep up the high standards. www.theentertainmentguide.co.uk Remember...this is the original Entertainment Guide... accept no other!!

Located in the north of the city, Aintree Racecourse and Visitor Centre has benefited in recent years from a £35 million redevelopment project. Comprising two new Grandstands, a brand-new Parade Ring, Winners Enclosure and the superb Aintree Pavilion, the site offers a top-notch racing experience for all spectators. In addition to hosting April’s Grand National, Aintree hosts four more race days throughout the year. While sporting enjoyment is a given, entertainment is also supplied for the whole family, from falconry displays and ferret racing to shire horse displays and face painting. During Christmas race day, kids even get the chance to meet reindeer and visit Santa’s Grotto. Those who aver that Aintree is all about horse racing are sadly misinformed; it’s a successful conference and events venue, too. A range of spacious suites can be tailored for exhibitions, meetings, award ceremonies, banquets and product launches; the racecourse provides a perfect setting for events of all shapes and sizes. A world-class racecourse with five-star facilities to match, Aintree is one of Liverpool’s greatest assets. 10 For offers and promotions: @entguide_liv ARTS, CULTURE & TOURISM Liverpool ONE, Liverpool, L1 8JF 0151 792 8803 [email protected] www.junglerumble.co.uk www.theentertainmentguide.co.uk 11 Liverpool 2020/21 Lime Street Liverpool, L1 1JE booking number 0844 871 7660 general enquiries 0871 231 7787 LIVERPOOL EMPIRE THEATRE Liverpool Empire Theatre stands imperiously were still called The Quarrymen, before returning on Lime Street, a famous venue on one of the in 1962 under their new name.

  • Liverpool Development Update
    LIVERPOOL DEVELOPMENT UPDATE November 2016 Welcome Welcome to the latest edition of Liverpool Development Update. When I became Mayor of the city in 2012, I said that Liverpool’s best days were ahead of it. If you consider the levels of investment being seen across the city today in 2016, my prediction is now ringing true. Since the start of 2012, we have seen over £3.8 billion worth of investment which has brought new businesses, new homes, new schools, and new and improved community and health facilities to Liverpool. We have seen the creation of nearly 15,000 job spaces, many of which will be filled with new jobs to the city. We have also created thousands more construction jobs. There is more good news. Several major new schemes are now in delivery mode. I am pleased to see rapid progress on Derwent’s Liverpool Shopping Park at Edge Lane, whilst Project Jennifer is now well underway with construction about to commence on its new Sainsburys and B&M stores. In addition, Neptune Developments have started work on the Lime Street Gateway project, and I can also report that work is underway on the first phase of the Welsh Streets scheme that will now see many of the traditional terraces converted to larger family homes. Meanwhile, some of the new schemes have started under the Strategic Housing Delivery Partnership which will build a further 1,500 new homes and refurbish another 1,000 existing ones. Plans for new schemes continue to be announced. The Knowledge Quarter is to be expanded with a new £1billion campus specialising in FRONT COVER: research establishments, whilst we are now also seeking to expand the Commercial Office District with new Grade A office space at Pall Mall which this city so vitally needs.

  • The Art of Regeneration: the Establishment and Development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985–2010
    The Art of Regeneration: the establishment and development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985–2010 Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Liverpool for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Jane Clayton School of Architecture, University of Liverpool August 2012 iii Abstract The Art of Regeneration: the establishment and development of the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, 1985-2010 Jane Clayton This thesis is about change. It is about the way that art organisations have increasingly been used in the regeneration of the physical environment and the rejuvenation of local communities, and the impact that this has had on contemporary society. This historical analysis of the development of a young art organisation, the Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT), which has previously not been studied in depth, provides an original contribution to knowledge with regard to art and culture, and more specifically the development of media and community art practices, in Britain. The nature of FACT’s development is assessed in the context of the political, socio- economic and cultural environment of its host city, Liverpool, and the organisation is placed within broader discourses on art practice, cultural policy, and regeneration. The questions that are addressed – of local responsibility, government funding and institutionalisation – are essential to an understanding of the role that publicly funded organisations play within the institutional framework of society, without which the analysis of the influence of the state on our cultural identity cannot be achieved. The research was conducted through the triangulation of qualitative research methods including participant observation, in-depth interviews and original archival research, and the findings have been used to build upon the foundations of the historical analysis and critical examination of existing literature in the fields of regeneration and culture, art and media, and museum theory and practice.
