Things to Do in Liverpool

Creative Tourist

Liverpool is a city that never stands still, it’s long been a place where culture feels lived-in rather than put on.

This year, Liverpool’s exhibition scene has a whole host of works to really get you thinking. FACT leans into playful, sharp-edged ideas on the influence of technology with Can Meeple Escape the Neurophoria? , while free exhibitions by Bassam Issa Al-Sabah and Nina Davies explore a similar unease through speculative storytelling and immersive worldbuilding, asking what’s lost when lived experience is replaced by its digital double.

Or head over to Bluecoat’s Just Browsing exhibition, where it is not just allowed but encouraged to touch the beautiful artwork on display.

And on stage, Everyman and Playhouse’s 2025/26 season balances bold new writing with fresh takes on familiar stories.

Whether you’re visiting or watching closely from within the city, there’s plenty here worth paying attention to.
