Festivals
Link to festival listing for May to December 2006
Generally speaking, the main Festival season is between May and September, usually because most of our Festivals take place outdoors and we hope for good weather. No laughing please, but as you will know we don't have a climate; we just have weather! If you would like to stage an event, apart from the weather a major consideration is when to stage it. One of the other difficulties is dividing your potential audience when there are a number of events happening at the same time - doesn't always happen, doesn't always matter, but it is possible.
If particular timing of your event matters to you then this page is here to help by giving the dates of some major (and sometimes not-so-major, but important) annual events in the Wirral cultural calendar. As you will appreciate this is not a definitive list of events happening in Wirral but these are ones that could, potentially, attract significant numbers of people away from your event.
Although we are being particularly self-centred on this website we can't work in isolation so other events in other areas may also influence what you wish to do and your timing. For detailed events listings take a look at www.visitwirral.com which also links to Liverpool, Knowsley, Southport and St Helens websites.
If timing is important and as dates vary from year to year, it will be worth checking with particular event organisers for specific dates in future years. This information will be kept as up to date as possible by organisers sending in their dates at the earliest opportunity using the contact form on celebratewirral.info. (Event organisers, if you didn't notice, that was a polite request! Please send in your info for 2005.)
