$Let\u2019s go for a walk and I\u2019ll tell you a story - Church Street, Liverpool$

Slow down on Liverpool’s busy shopping street to uncover architectural gems, hidden carvings and historic surprises.
About this Event

For many years Church Street has been one of Liverpool’s principal shopping streets, but beneath the bustle lies a wealth of architectural detail and hidden stories.

On this walk we’ll slow down and look closely at fine façades, surprising features and overlooked details. We’ll visit the oldest surviving building in the city centre, search for the WWI tank carving many people miss, and finish at the historic “holy crossroad”.

Come for the walk, stay for the stories.

About These Walks

These small-group walks are unhurried and conversation-led, with time to pause, notice and reflect.

Storytelling focused rather than scripted, they help you learn to “read” the city and see familiar places from fresh perspectives.

French-language walks available on request.
