Liverpool's St George's Quarter will act as a hub for an array of cultural experiences to celebrate the Eurovision Song Contest.
The area boasts an abundance of theatres, museums and galleries, with locals lovingly branding it as the culture quarter. As the gateway to Liverpool, St George’s Quarter will be the first place to explore when you arrive at Liverpool Lime Street Station.
The Grade I listed building held the Eurovision Handover Ceremony and Draw back in January and will host 30,000 more for the National Lottery's Big Eurovision Welcome - a spectacular outside live show hosted by AJ Odudu.
