W SOCIETY L THE GIANTS COME TO WIRRAL It was a massive day for Wirral when a Giant visitor washed up on New Brighton beach. An estimated 80,000 people turned out to see street theatre company Royal de Luxe’s final Giant Spectacular in the seaside resort. Crowds lined the Promenade to see the 33ft tall Giant as he explored Wirral for the first time. The performance was part of the Imagine Wirral programme of culture, creativity and ideas, launched earlier this year by Wirral Council. The show, called Liverpool’s Dream, was the last ever outing for the Giants and attracted around 1.3 million visitors to Liverpool and Wirral over its four days.
