The largest celebration of working people on the planet takes place in Liverpool next month (22 - 30 April). Over nine days, the Working Class Life & Music Festival will feature 45 different events of song, music, arts, theatre, poetry, cinema, photography, discussion, and walking tours, celebrating the lives and experiences of working people.
Organiser Alun Parry of Great Stories, the social enterprise that runs the festival, said:
“It is important, in these times especially, that we celebrate each other’s experiences and turn the spotlight onto what is great about people. It is now officially the largest celebration of working people anywhere on the planet and I’m delighted that it’s right here in Liverpool. It’s another great claim to fame for our city.”
The festival will include shows at The Liverpool Philharmonic, Sefton Park Palm House, The Everyman Theatre, The Unity Theatre, BBC Radio Merseyside, FACT, National Museums Liverpool, Merseyside Maritime Museum, Crosby Plaza Cinema, Studio 2, News From Nowhere, and The Casa.
