Road closures in city centre this week for Pride in Liverpool event

A number of road closures will be put in place this weekend to help facilitate the city’s Pride celebrations.

In order for the annual March with Pride parade and Pride in Liverpool festival to take place safely this Saturday, July 30, road closures will mean no vehicle movement will be possible - except for emergency services.

The main road closures will be in place from 11am until roughly 2.30 pm. It is advised for all businesses to avoid arranging deliveries between these times as access will not be possible until the road closure is lifted.
