If you prefer, you can download a PDF of Festival Review 2020, here. Since 2016, the Liverpool Irish Festival has written an in depth review of the year before (an annual report, if you will). The review focusses on the reach, range and experience its work provides. It has become a critical tool for understanding our workand weak points.
The Liverpool Irish Festival has secured initial funding from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to begin work on regenerating the Liverpool Irish Famine Trail. We would like to thank the National Lottery Heritage Fund (and players of the Lottery) for their interest, support and trust in us. We would also like to thank Greg Quiery and the Great Hunger Commemoration Committee, for their work with us on this.
