Chico Rico makes a welcome return to cause mayhem, which will also feature award-winning circus superstars The Gerlings returning with the motorbikes in the Thunderdome. High up in the roof of the big top, the Garcia family will be making a special guest appearance. It is a real family affair from Europe's largest touring show. Gandey's has been coming to Liverpool for nearly a hundred years. That is on until Sunday 20 March.

Memories - Sefton Palm House

Sefton Park Palm House is collecting your memories of the grade two listed building. They want to document its importance and significance in the lives of the people who love and use it. This is an ongoing event, and you can share your memories in-person at the venue itself, via social media or via email to [email protected]. The project is part of a National Lottery Heritage Funded programme designed to share more of the Palm House's story.

The Royal, hospital comedy - Royal Court Theatre

The comedy show about Liverpool’s most famous hospital will be back at the Royal Court Theatre this March until April 9.

Cal McCrystal, who has previously directed The Scouse Nativity and Canoeing for Beginners is also back on the team. The Royal was last on the main stage back in 2017, but it was so popular with audiences that it’s been brought back for 2022.
