The giant puppets that have visited Liverpool twice before will be back for the 'Liverpool Dream' from Thursday 4th to Sunday 7th October 2018.

This time they will include Wirral on their travels and will be visiting New Brighton Lighthouse on Friday 5th October.

In advance of this, a piece of artwork with the Lighthouse on it has been revealed.

See Culture Liverpool for Liverpool City Region Events and 'Giant Spectacular' website.

Looking forward to seeing them again but suspect parking at New Brighton will be a nightmare

I think that'll be a day to take the train - and a chair, and a picnic... I will be very interested to see what they come up with. Should be quite a sight.

I'm pleased they are going to New Brighton, an excellent venue ! Can't imagine how much it will cost for the 'police' to be out in force, I just hope the revenue brought into Wirral will match the cost. Mersey Rail should do ok.
I'm wondering how they will arrive. Any guesses ?

Yes it will be great and if you get the crowds like you do in Liverpool , be prepared to fight to get a space. I've seen them in Liverpool twice and it was a great atmosphere even though it was crowded. If you haven't seen them before you're in for a treat and don't miss this chance. Apparently this is the last time for this area. People come from everywhere to see them and I do hope the dog Zolo comes , he's amazing you forget he's not real find yourself stroking him the kids love him. I can't wait think I will go to New Brighton and see them there this time. Maybe on a barge Granny , that's how they left Liverpool one year, sail over ?

Yes, could be a barge, Cools. Thing is, they must be travelling rather than just landing at the front. So where from or where to, surely not Seacombe ?
