FILMS

Liverpool’s cult film venue VideOdyssey is making waves this November with a JAWS 50th Anniversary Celebration — an immersive evening dedicated to the film that redefined cinema. Taking place on Saturday 22 November at VideOdyssey, Toxteth TV, the event promises a night of nostalgia, creativity, and shark-sized fun.

In partnership with Liverpool Noise and Purple Revolver, the evening will dive deep into Spielberg’s iconic thriller with a packed programme of live art, rare memorabilia, quizzes, and even an impressive LEGO JAWS display.

BARS

Lined with bars and restaurant favourites, Castle Street is one of the most popular nightlife areas in Liverpool City Centre – but there’s still one luxury venue that many people have failed to spot!

Opened for just over a year, The Lounge @ 62 has got to be Liverpool’s best kept secret … until now!

FESTIVALS

The UK’s biggest celebration of African and Caribbean music and culture returns to Liverpool this summer following a fallow year in 2025 due to rising infrastructure costs, changing legislation, and the increasingly difficult challenge of keeping the event free.

The jewel in Liverpool’s festival crown will return as a ticketed event in 2026 with organisers committed to making it as affordable as possible for its audience.

CHRISTMAS

Get ready for some festive film magic in one of Liverpool’s most picturesque settings — The Reader has announced a brand-new Christmas Cinema season, transforming Calderstones Park’s historic Mansion House into a winter wonderland of classic Christmas movies.

Running from Friday 19 December to Wednesday 24 December 2025, this special festive pop-up will see nine unforgettable films screened under a cosy heated canopy, complete with fairy lights, festive food and drink, and the joyful atmosphere of the season.

CHRISTMAS
