About this Event
On this 2-hour walk you’ll discover Irish connections to many of the historic Hope Street and Rodney Street buildings, hearing from some of the colourful characters who populated them.
Researched by historian Greg Quiery, and gifted to the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail, this walk will be led by ArtsGroupie’s John Maguire, leader of our History Research Group. Early booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
This is an outdoor walk in October; please be weather prepared, comfortable and hydrated.
Ticket holders should join John at the Liverpool Great Hunger Commemoration memorial at St Luke’s Bombed Out Church from 2.45pm, ahead of the walk’s departure at 3pm.
Anyone interested in this may also like the in-person event later the same day, taking in Vauxhall Neighbourhood Council, The Rotunda and St Anthony’s Church, which — this year — replaces our previously popular Scotland Road walk.
