"There’s just something about being by the water that can be romantic. Royal Albert Dock as the sun sets is divine. [Insert emoji with heart eyes here.] When you head down to the docks and see that view, you can definitely see why it was the perfect setting for a little romancing back in the day for all those sailors that arrived at Liverpool."

"If you are looking for one place that incorporates the essence of Liverpool then head to Albert Dock!. From museums and shops to restaurants and bars, Albert Dock has it all. The rare urban melange is perhaps just as perfect as its location- the serene water amidst all the buzz is sure to keep you entertained for hours."

"30/05/2021: Food was lovely and our server Kate B was even better!. She couldn’t do enough for us, nothing was to much trouble. Our table had fajitas and a burger and I would definitely recommend we can’t wait to return."

There are also uncommon varieties of poppy, iris, lupin, phlox and echinacea."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Apple Jacks Adventure Park is fun for all the family, located in Stretton, just a short drive from Warrington town centre. They offer visitors the chance to try archery and have a go on their giant trampoline pillow, which always provides a soft landing!"

"One of the undisputed grande dames of Liverpool's cultural landscape, the Bluecoat gallery is housed in the oldest building in the city centre; originally a schoolhouse and dating from the early 18th century, the building enjoys Unesco world heritage and Grade I-listed status. Although boasting a rich history: it hosted the first Post Impressionist exhibition in 1911, including works by Picasso, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Matisse and Gauguin – it is, nevertheless, an institution facing forwards. Not without initial local controversy, the arts centre underwent significant architectural redevelopment in 2008 and continues to be a staple for those hoping to spot emerging and mid-career artists."

"Built in the early 1700s as a charity school, the Blue Coat School moved in 1906 and was rented by Sandon Studios. Bluecoat now plays host to numerous cultural and art exhibitions as well as performances. This landmark building always has something happening so make sure you check out the events during your city break."

"Liverpool Everyman Theatre, 5-9 Hope Street, Liverpool, Merseyside, L1 9BH - Visit now. The Everyman reopened in March 2014 after extensive renovation to its stage, restaurant and backstage areas; the newly opened version is sustainable, accessible and really rather swish. Inclusiveness runs through the new design – its frontage, dominated by a new “portrait wall”, shows 105 different Liverpool residents, cut into a metal facade."

"Founded in 1964, the Everyman Theatre has been bringing groundbreaking talent to Hope Street for over half a decade. The stage for early performances from Julie Walters, Bill Nighy and Bernard Hill, this venue is steeped in history – the building itself won the 2014 RIBA Stirling Prize for architecture. Showing a range of plays from classic Shakespeare to brand new material, a show at the Everyman is not to be missed."
