Summer is drawing to a close and It’s back to school month (cue the celebrations from Mum’s & Dad’s across the country). With so much to do in Liverpool in September there’s plenty of time to cram in some outdoor activities, before it’s time to dig out those winter clothes. We’ve rounded up our favourites in our latest Blog, What’s on in September in Liverpool.

The Market Hall will be converted into a haven of hot dogs, beers by the stein and live music. Expect the best of Liverpool and Germany under one roof, with local craft brews along with German beers. You’ll also find local food traders adding a German twist to their delicious feasts – and of course there’ll be frankfurters.
