11 alternative things to do in Liverpool instead of watching the King’s Coronation
Liverpool is the place to be right now, with many incredible things to do and see.
Britain’s first coronation ceremony in 70 years takes place on Saturday (May 6) and people around the world will be celebrating the momentus occassion.
However, not everyone is a royal family fanatic and might want to avoid the event altogether. But, if you’re not planning on attending a street party or watching the blanket coverage on your telly, what else can you do this weekend to have fun?
We’ve got 11 ideas for alternative activities, including visiting wonderful art displays or treating yourself to a local pint in our beautiful city.
1. Visit the Floating Earth
Head to the Royal Albert Dock and view Luke Jerram’s incredible Floating Earth display. Visitors can view the amazing installation every day from 12-10pm for free, alongside a soundscape by Dan Jones. It is truly worth a visit! Photo: Mark McNulty

New shops are constantly appearing around Liverpool ONE, so why not go window shopping or treat yourself? New stores include On and the new Bean coffee shop. Photo: Emma Dukes
