Thousands of music fans from all over the globe are expected to descend on Liverpool in the next week to celebrate all things Eurovision 2023.
Besides the Song Contest itself, happening at the M&S Bank Arena, there are countless official and unofficial events happening in and around the city including the EuroCulture Festival, so it’s fair to say there is something for everyone to enjoy.
With an array of events taking place, it is no surprise there will be various road closures happening throughout Liverpool during the Eurovision period - Monday, May 8 to Sunday, May 14. All road closures will have Traffic Marshalls from a local stewarding company in place throughout to advise alternative routes.
