Liverpool Christmas Ice Festival
FREE Indoor Museums
One reason I love Liverpool is that there are so many FREE museums. Perfect to hide in for a few hours if the weather takes a turn for the worse! Our favourite is the Museum of Liverpool - so many fantastic hands-on exhibitions and it is really easy too. The World Museum and National Maritime Museum are worth a look too (the Titanic exhibition is brilliant) - most of the museums are down by the docks and within easy walking distance of each other.
Liverpool Christmas Markets
Liverpool Christmas Market is open from 15 November - 23 December 2019. Located on St Georges Plateau, there is lots of festive fun to be had including an Alpine Karaoke Bar, Waffles, Bavarian Sausage, Yorkshire Pudding Wraps, Vintage Fairground Rides, a Ferris Wheel and more. The market opens from 11am daily.
Liverpool Light Spectacular
The Liverpool Light Spectacular on Church Street performs every day at 16:30, 17:30, 18:30 and 19:30 until 26 December. This music and light show is FREE to enjoy and lots of fun. Expect the show to last about 10 minutes and to give you all the festive feels!
