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.
