Celebrating Castle Street

Liverpool’s ‘Celebrating Bold Street’ and ‘Celebrating Castle Street’ events will return this August.

After a successful return last summer, the two all day events will be even bigger, celebrating the breadth of local businesses in the city centre, blending food, drink, entertainment, culture, family fun and more.

Celebrating Castle Street will take place on Sunday 4th August, and will run from 11am – 5pm with the road closed as businesses spread into the public realm. There will be a dedicated programme of entertainment and activity to mark its distinctive character.

As a foodie destination, filled with food and drink venues, close to cultural attractions and historic landmarks, Castle Street’s programme will feature a food and drink hub at Exchange Flags with a chef’s demo stage. Partnering with Parentfolk there will be a selection of music, mixology, and workshops. Busking spots will provide ambience and create a fantastic atmosphere alongside dot-art drawing classes, yoga classes, a mini golf course and more.

//The Task

This is a full day task, but with enough of us signed up there will be plenty of opportunities for breaks for you to have chance to explore the days activities and have some fun! We'll be on site bright and early to help set up the stalls and gazebos etc. Then given various tasks throughout the day, helping guide the character stilt walkers, doing a spot of litter picking, staffing our GoodGym stall to promote what we do, and a few other things we'll be asked to help with on the day. And then of course, helping pack everything up at the end of the day.

It promises to be a busy and fun day and it's a great chance to promote GoodGym!

Those coming for the full day/morning: We are meeting at the Queen Avenue entrance on Castle Street for a 9am briefing with the events team. It's really important noone is late for this so please aim to be there just before 9am so we don't miss the briefing! Thanks x

Those coming for a few hours later in the morning/afternoon keep an eye on the WhatsApp group for an update of where to meet as we won't know until we are there! Xx
