Here in Liverpool, we’ve had a pretty impressive spell of sunny, warm weather and it looks like it’s here to stay - for the next few days at least.
The glorious sunshine has got me thinking about all of the reasons why I love spring and summer in Liverpool so much, and why I’m so excited to enjoy the warmer months in my favourite city (and it’s gorgeous surrounding areas).
So, I’ve put together a list of 21 reasons why Liverpool is the best city for enjoying spring and summer. Let me know your favourite things to do when the sun is shining.
5. Ice cream at Parkgate
Okay so Parkgate isn't in Liverpool but it isn't summer is you don't go to Nicholls for an ice cream and sit and eat it on the wall. | ahirao - stock.adobe.com
6. Gin in a tin at Sub Rosa
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't at Sub Rosa last week. It's the ideal place for a chilled drink in the sun. Did somebody say gin in a tin? | Emma Dukes
7. Sunny days on Lark Lane
I visit Lark Lane regularly regardless of the weather but, it's amazing during the spring and summer. Iced coffees from Doogles, vegan ice cream from Gelato and a drink in the sun at Petit Cafe - bliss. | Emily Bonner
8. Drinks at the Botanical Garden
The Botanical Garden on New Bird Street is my all-time favourite place for outdoor drinks in Liverpool. It recently reopened for the spring and summer but I can't wait for hotter temperatures and a gin tin. | @ Botanicalgardnliverpool via Instagram
