Red or blue, John or Paul: that Liverpool is a city packed with personality is something everyone can agree upon. Besides the fact that the Scouse accent, humour and dialect is probably the best in the world, a fact supported by being named European Capital of Culture in 2008, it’s also a hub of creativity.

There's a thriving food culture featuring everything from pimped-out cheesy chips and gravy, to Michelin-mentioned small plates, a theatre sphere which is as big on supporting grassroots initiatives as it is attracting established names and a music scene which inevitably features the fab four, but is so vast beyond that.
