The Liverpool Irish Festival is returning in 2024 with a programme exploring the theme of 'departures'. Spanning over 10 days, the festival will feature over 35 events encompassing theatre, film, spoken word, visual arts and academia. The programme highlights themes of migration, displacement and change, connecting these experiences to the Irish identity.
The UK’s largest Irish arts and culture-led festival has announced its 2024 programme. The Liverpool Irish festival has been 'bringing the two communities closer together' for over two decades - and this year will be no different. As the 'most diverse celebration of Irish culture ' in the UK, the festival will see over 35 events, for all ages, take place across 10 days. The highlight of the city’s cultural calendar celebrates ‘departures’ as its core theme this year.
“As we navigate our collective and individual identity - post-Brexit, post-culture wars and with new post-colonial language and approaches - we have a responsibility to share stories that might help people today. “Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised at some of the difficulties witnessed recently; by further unpicking class-division, fears around wealth and growing intolerances we can help to build a stronger, more cohesive community.
