🍂 The Reader’s 2025 autumn season starts Sept 7, and runs to Nov 22. Based at Calderstones Park, the literary charity’s new lineup includes Halloween events, a monster ball, weekly Shared Reading sessions, a murder mystery event, and so much more.

🎸 International Beatleweek 2025 returns 20-26 August with a huge number of bands from from around the world playing across Liverpool. Expect Beatles tributes, guest panels, and late-night gigs at the Cavern Club and beyond.

🦁 Knowsley Safari’s summer plans are here and “not only is it going to be an interactive, skills-building, bug-eating adventure for the whole family, with some sleuth special agent antics thrown in – there’s 20% off the regular admission price when booking online in advance” (until 31 Aug)

🎉 Three days of street festivals are hitting Liverpool in August… "Celebrating Castle Street” is on 7 Aug. “Celebrating Bold street” is on 17 Aug. And “The Last Day Of Summer” lands on the Waterfront on 30 Aug!

🎡 An indoor funfair with 30 rides opens Aug 19–31 at Exhibition Centre Liverpool. Think waltzers, rollercoasters, soft play, and snack stalls—minus the unpredictable British weather.
