We are partnered on the Liverpool Design Festival

For visitors from Liverpool to the Oxton Art Fair 7th and 8th of November

If you click on this post's heading it will take you to our listing with the Liverpool Design Festival programme,we are partnered with the Liverpool-wide festival, with various events around the city and us. If you are unsure of how to get to the Williamson Art Gallery from Liverpool, please look at my previous postings. There are several train stations within about 15 minutes walk of the gallery, Hamilton Square, Conway Park, Birkenhead Park or Central Station. With a bus station nearest to Conway Park, if you plan to take a bus that is probably the best station to get off at. There are also buses through the tunnel. For a pleasant walk, you take the train to Birkenhead Park and walk diagonally though Birkenhead Park and up Slatey Road. Or you could come by ferry to Woodside and get a bus or taxi. Best bet is to get in touch with MerseyTravel for a route that suits your needs!

Taxis from the train station would probably be about £4.

As well as visiting our show, you might care to walk into Oxton Village to visit the shops, pubs and cafes but don't forget we will have a lovely cafe offered by The Green Community Shop and Centre and Green Eats on Saturday and by Pete's deli with the The Green Community Shop on Sunday. We will have music from Rebecca Joy Sharp on the harp on Saturday and from Henry Bird on Sunday. We will also be offering a new service via Wirral Environmental Network who will wrap any of your purchases for you for a small fee in recycled eco wrapping.
