Magical Winter Festival taking over Liverpool landmark with ice rink and Christmas markets
The Liverpool Winter Festival launches at the Pier Head this week.
A magical Christmas festival lands in Liverpool this week, bringing ice skating, live entertainment, rides, markets and more to Pier Head.
The Liverpool Winter Festival will open this Friday (November 21) and run until January 5, transforming one of the city’s most famous landmarks into a festive village.
Created by Crow Leisure Group, the event will feature everything from street food and local traders to large-scale rides, live music and seasonal drinks. Highlights include an 18m x 30m real ice rink, a 65-metre Star Flyer, an elf village and two themed grottos.

Alex and Kennedy Crow, managing directors of Crow Leisure Group, said: "They added: "This is a big moment for Liverpool. The Pier Head is already a place people are proud of, and this gives it a new life for Christmas.
"We want it to feel inclusive and full of character - somewhere people of all ages can enjoy, come back to and make part of their own Christmas traditions."
