Top Headlines

🍻 Liverpool’s longest-running craft beer fest is back this Friday-Sunday in the Baltic Triangle. Good beer, zero pretension, and a crowd that actually cares what’s in the glass.

🍽️ Metquarter’s new food hall just launched: nine indie vendors, global flavors, and a co-working vibe that doesn’t scream “corporate lunch”.

🛍️ BOXPARK’s massive pop-up lands June 14, with 50 local brands, DJs, and enough street food to derail your weekend plans

🏛️ St George’s Gateway is getting a major overhaul. More green space, smoother foot traffic, and finally an entrance that hopefully does Liverpool justice.
