In local politics, Liverpool City Council's cabinet will be meeting as they look to temper the storm of the past few months, and the Royal College of Nursing will go on strike for the first time in its history.

Winter Wonderlight

As night falls on the historic gardens of Thornton Manor in Wirral the grounds will be transformed into a visually, multi-sensory walk-through of Santa's wonderland. Stroll under the stars beneath magically illuminated tree canopies transformed by moving light as you wind your way along a shimmering path through spectacles of sight and sound to thrill the senses.

The event will run until January 2, 2023.

Nurses to strike

Nurses will stage the first national strike in the history of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) in December. Up to 100,000 members will walk out at 65 NHS organisations on 15 and 20 December for 12 hours at a time. The strikes will take place between 8am and 8pm on both days.
