A beautiful light installation was illuminated in Crosby tonight at an evening to launch Sefton’s year as Borough of Culture.
The Parabolic Lightcloud was lit up on South Road, Waterloo just after 6pm.
There will be entertainment each night this weekend from 4pm to 8pm, with performances by local bands and choirs, plus street theatre and food stalls.
The installation is part of a Liverpool City Region arts project , designed to inspire local communities to rediscover their local neighbourhoods and spend time stargazing.

When the project was announced last month, Councillor Trish Hardy, Sefton Council’s cabinet minister for communities and housing, said: “As Wirral’s amazing year draws to a close, we can’t wait to receive the Borough of Culture baton off them and launch Sefton’s.
“The Borough of Culture title for 2020 is one we are extremely proud of and can’t wait to showcase everything about our wonderful borough. The focus of our year will be on stories looking at two key elements, local history and the environment.
“To start the build-up, an impressive light constellation will be switched on in Crosby Coastal Park in an evening of celebrations. This is open to everyone and I hope as many people as possible to attend the event and marvel at the constellation".
The event is free to attend.
