Founded in 2015, The Liverpool St Patrick’s Day Parade will take place again this year, meeting at the Old Irish Centre on Mount Pleasant.

At 3:30pm, the parade will begin a trip around the city, finishing outside Fitzgerald’s on Slater Street.

According to the organisers’ Facebook page, the Fianna Phadraig Pipe Band from Manchester will lead the parade, as well as three other bands set to perform.

Details are also set to be announced for an event after the parade.
