WIRRAL’S No.1 FREE PREMIUM LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE
Welcome to Wirral Life Magazine.
This month we have an exclusive interview with Wirral's Andy McCluskey
of OMD to celebrate their 40th Anniversary. We've also been back to the Art
School in Liverpool to try out the semi-final Masterchef menu - see page 46
and our Gastro Grazer reports on Obsession 19!
There are exciting times ahead as it has been announced that Wirral is the
Borough of Culture for 2019 meaning we will be hosting major cultural and
sporting events in unexpected locations throughout the year.
Wirral Life are delighted to support the programme which will be based around
the themes of discovery, exploration and great outdoors – designed to showcase
Wirral to the world.
Highlights revealed so far include hosting the OVO Energy Tour Series
and Tour of Britain; a spellbinding outdoor spectacle; an exhibition about
Wirral’s contribution to maritime exploration; a summer of art in parks and
urban spaces, and a series of events linked to the moon and stars, along with
returning favourites the River Festival and River of Light. See page 16 for more
information.
The first event, Animated Square, will take place on Saturday 23rd March
when Hamilton Square will be the canvas for an incredible 3D projection
inspired by the story of the town.
