Liverpool An Gorta Mór Commemoration 2026Saturday 5 December 2026 | 12:00 PM
Join us in Liverpool as we gather to remember the victims of An Gorta Mór, the Great Irish Famine of 1845–1852, and honour the memory of those who were forced to leave Ireland in search of a better life.
Liverpool played a significant role in the history of the Great Famine, becoming a major port of arrival for hundreds of thousands of Irish people fleeing hunger, poverty and displacement.
This commemoration will bring our community together in remembrance of those who suffered, those who perished and those who made Liverpool their new home.
