(All of August)
Liverpool Biennial is an engaging free festival of newly commissioned contemporary art from around the world. A biannual event, it takes place over 14 weeks in galleries, museums, pubs, unused spaces, stations, hotels, parking lots, shops and supermarkets across the city.
It’s a great day out if you’re looking for summer activities with kids, as this year is the very first time that children have worked together with artists and the Biennial team to develop ambitious exhibitions, projects and publications specifically for young audiences.
