If you're in Liverpool at all over the Eurovision 2023 contest period, you must visit the EuroVillage.
The official EuroVillage fan zone kicked off this evening, welcoming thousands of fans from all over Europe to enjoy the world's biggest night in music. It felt a little bit surreal to finally be entering the grounds after months of preparation and work but the scale it's been carried out at will leave you speechless.
The Pier Head has hosted everything from Liverpool Pride to Cream Classics but the energy for the EuroVillage feels like nothing I've ever experienced before. That excitement walking into festival grounds is present but it feels like an otherworldly arena, primarily due to the scale of everything.
