Following on from our very successful 2023 Friendship Week, and having become fully booked for our 2025 event, leaving a lot of people disappointed who were unable to book a place, we have decided to run a Christmas Friendship Festival Week here in Liverpool.
We have booked ‘THE LINER’ hotel in the City Centre of Liverpool, which gives local access to all facilities within the City. Accommodation is on a bed and breakfast basis for two people sharing a room. Single options are available. We have booked 30 rooms.
The event runs from Sunday 1st December 2024, until Friday 6th December 2024. On Sunday evening, there will be a meet and greet buffet, and on Tuesday 1st December there will be a Gala Christmas Dinner with entertainment.
As well as sightseeing tours to visit iconic buildings and attractions, there will also be the opportunity to visit Christmas Markets and see the Christmas Lights to put you in the festive mood. You will be able to visit the ‘Liverpool One’ shopping complex to obtain your Christmas Gifts.
Our last two ventures sold out quickly so please do not be disappointed and book early with our Assistant Secretary, Rob Smith at rsipalpool@hotmail.com
