Knowsley Better Together in action

Coinciding with the opening of the unique Shakespeare North Playhouse, Knowsley is Liverpool City Region’s Borough of Culture in 2022 – a year-long celebration of culture and creativity through community activities and events which forms a key part of the Borough’s plans for recovery from the pandemic.

The programme is encouraging collaboration and engagement across Knowsley’s local communities – through cultural activities and events which will continue to have a positive impact in the future.  This wide-ranging cultural events and activities programme (and, importantly, its continuing legacy) will be key to helping local communities thrive as part of the Council’s ongoing COVID-19 recovery work.

The theme for the year is “Stories of people, places and magic”, co-designed with local communities through dedicated “cultural conversations” and pop-up events across the Borough – demonstrating Knowsley’s Better Together approach in action and giving everyone an opportunity to get involved and feel connected to the celebrations in different ways.
