Pier Head and the Liverpool waterfront
23 Oct to 1 Nov.
Nightly, Friday 23 October to Sunday 1 November

Liverpool's free light art trail along the waterfront, running right through October half term. Not fireworks, but a better fit for children who find bangs too much. Nightly times were not published when we checked, so look before you set off.

Liverpool ONE
14 Nov.
Saturday 14 November

Dancing toys, festive characters and Santa himself parade through Liverpool ONE, made with Walk The Plank. It is free and early enough in November that the shops are still bearable afterwards. Get a spot on the route in good time if you want a small child on your shoulders at the front.
