Castle Street festival returning to Liverpool with prosecco bar on Town Hall balcony

Following a hugely successful first event last year, Celebrating Castle Street returns to Liverpool city centre later this month.

On Friday, May 31 Castle Street will be taken over with celebrations of all things food, drink, and entertainment.

As part of Liverpool BID’s Food and Drink week, visitors to the street can expect a takeover by some of the city’s best restaurants, cafes and bars such as Castle Street Townhouse, Olive, Liverpool Gin Distillery and Heritage.

New for this year, there will be a Prosecco bar on the balcony of Liverpool Town Hall , while Exchange Flag’s popular Bite event makes a welcome return.

Bill Addy, chief executive of Liverpool BID Company and chair of the Liverpool Visitor Economy Network, said: "Celebrating Castle Street was a huge hit last year, with incredible participation from our BID levy payers and fantastic engagement from the general public.

“With so much on offer in terms of food and entertainment, there really is something for all ages and tastes to enjoy, on what is one of Liverpool’s most iconic streets in the heart of the Commercial District.

“Castle Street continues to evolve and grow in status with new bars and restaurants joining us in 2019, and a great mix of local independents and popular chains sat side-by-side.

“Come and see what’s new as well as reacquainting yourself with some old favourites on this bustling street.”

Celebrating Castle Street also leads into Bordeaux Wine Festival as it returns to the city for its second year.
