Waterloo is set to welcome a unique celebration of reading and creativity this weekend as the Literary Escape Festival arrives at Old Christ Church (L22 1RE).
Taking place on Saturday 23rd May, the event brings together talented authors and independent small businesses. Fresh from its successful debut in Edinburgh last year, the touring festival is hitting the road for 2026, choosing the historic Sefton venue as its next destination. Organisers aim to blend the cosy magic of books with high-quality local craftsmanship.
Visitors to the Waterloo event will have the opportunity to:
- Meet brilliant authors in person, chat about their work, and pick up signed copies of their latest releases.
- Browse independent stalls featuring talented crafters and small businesses from across the region.
- Discover unique gifts, including beautifully handmade bookmarks, custom scented candles, and bespoke crafts perfect for treating yourself or finding an early gift for someone special.
The festival has been designed to offer a warm, welcoming atmosphere for readers of all kinds. Whether you are a lifelong bookworm with an endless reading list or simply enjoy a relaxing page-turner on the weekend, the event offers a curated escape into the creative world.
