20 fun things to do in Liverpool

1 week ago

Whether you’re visiting the city or just looking for some free-time inspiration, we’ve rounded up 20 fun things to do in Liverpool.

There are activities for all budgets and no budget all, ranging from a walk in the park to Liverpool’s most treatiest of treat-yourself afternoon teas at The Art School Cellars.

Everyone’s idea of pleasure is different so we’ve included a stonkingly good Sunday lunch, breakfast that sets you up for the day, and a nice cup of tea for when life gets a bit much. Also, CAKE; the adult equivalent of spending all your pocket money on sweets. Very fun indeed.

There are high octane thrills too with open water swimming, crazily competitive air hockey, ten pin bowling and all the rest of it.

From hedonistic dancing with your mates until kicking out time, to the mindful pleasures of art classes for adults or relaxing at a Turkish bath, these are all things to make you feel good.

Enjoy.

  • Afternoon tea at The Art School Cellars in Liverpool is always a treat
    Book Now Georgian Quarter

    The Art School Cellars

    Bars

    The Art School Cellars is part of the renowned Art School restaurant but it is also an atmospheric destination in its own right. Head to this charming, subterranean bar for a pre-dinner cocktail, a post-prandial port and cheeseboard, or make it the focus of your visit. The Art School Cellars offers a lighter menu than the upstairs restaurant but it’s no less delightful for that.

    Liverpool City Centre

    69A

    Record Shops

    Vintage and antiques shop 69A looks like it fell out of the pages of a storybook. A black cat is asleep in the window, its head resting on a pile of secondhand books. A sign on the door warns you to ‘please take care’ and says nothing about who or what of. Once inside, the narrow room stretches further and further back until you lose sight of where you came in.

    Bakeries

    Rough Hand Made is a gorgeous artisan bakery on Albert Dock. Eat in or take away but get there early because their pastries are beautiful – and as this seems to be a view shared by half of Liverpool, they can get snaffled up pretty quickly.

    Sefton Park

    Parks & Gardens

    Sefton Park is larger than most parks, although it’s still not Liverpool’s biggest – that award goes to Croxteth Country Park. There’s something for everyone with suburban pleasures and a chance to feel closer to nature.

    Woodland trails, carpets of bluebells and an abundance of daffodils in the springtime as well as plenty of wildlife – watch out for the kingfishers near the lake – mean that Sefton Park often doesn’t feel like a city park at all.
