Visit Wirral for coast, countryside and culture

Start with Subterannean Elevator at the Williamson Art Gallery, inviting visitors to explore the earth and the subconscious mind, with sounds and visuals. You will find the Un/Earthed exhibition here too, revealing vibrant expressions of story and place for Wirral and beyond.

Next, head to Birkenhead Park - the first publicly funded park in the world. It is widely recognised as the inspiration for New York’s Central Park and shortlisted for UNESCO World Heritage Status.

Don’t miss Wirral’s month-long walking festival in May, from exploring Hilbre Islands to the historic village of Port Sunlight.

Finish by exploring the street art trail in New Brighton before taking in a show at the Floral Pavilion.
