Free tulips, live music and giveaways as Liverpool brightens the 'most depressing day' of the year
Liverpool transforms the ‘most depressing day of the year’ into a day of joy with ‘Yellow Monday’.
Liverpool has come together today (January 19) to turn ‘Blue Monday’ - dubbed the ‘most depressing day of the year’ - into a day of joy.
Yellow Monday is organised by Liverpool’s Business Improvement District (BID) and brings together partners across the city, including Merseyrail, Metquarter, Royal Albert Dock and Liverpool ONE.
Running from early morning until evening, the initiative aims to make a dreary Monday that little bit brighter, with free tulips given to commuters passing Liverpool ONE this morning, a live performance by Lucy Starr at Moorfields Station, £100 vouchers giveaway at the Albert Dock, a free Yellow Monday bundle giveaway at the Met Quarter, free coffee at Exchange Flags and more.
Donna Howitt, Deputy Centre Director at Liverpool ONE, said: “Our flower giveaway has been part of Liverpool ONE for almost a decade now, and each year it’s a reminder of what makes this city so special.
