Liverpool Light Night

Friday 19th May, 2012. Liverpool Light Night. Museums, galleries, and all sorts of arts venues stay open late into the evening in a celebration of arts and culture. It’s all free and it’s all wonderful. Talking to Stuart (@FeelingListless) on Twitter reminded me of when I was last at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Every last Friday of the month they stay open late with live music, cocktails and stunning art on display. Oi, Liverpool. Lets do that too! Imagine if the Open Eye, Tate and Museum of Liverpool stayed open late for interesting events once a month followed by an after party at Camp & Furnace. Pop-up events at Albert Dock. The Baltic Quarter is perfect to be closed off on a Friday night from traffic for events. Who wouldn’t love a monthly Light Night if it was like this?
