There’s still time to join the next Liverpool Irish Famine Trail introductory walking tour, taking place on Sunday 19 April (11am–1pm)!

Led by historian John Maguire of ArtsGroupie CIC, this guided walk explores Liverpool’s experience of An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger) and the journeys of the many Irish people who arrived in the city during the 1840s.

From the docks where migrants first landed to the streets and buildings that offered refuge, the tour reveals how these stories shaped Liverpool and its communities.

📍 Meet at The Pilotage Building (near the Museum of Liverpool)
🎧 Includes guided commentary, headsets and our trail app for an immersive experience.

👉 Places are limited - book ahead to secure your spot.
