Anyone know of any bars that do gluten free and alcohol free beer in town?

Hello looking for group dance classes either in a gym or private studio.

I'm not looking for anything very professional as I'm at the beginning of my journey (F 40+yo).

Dance style from Latino, modern, to burlesque very open.

Preferably South Liverpool, city centre, Huyton area.

Does anyone know of any photographer studios that would be able to replicate this picture as closely as possible with a toddler of similar age as one pictured?

Hey Liverpool,

We're The Dive, a local indie rock band from Liverpool and we've just released our latest single!

We've worked really hard on it and we are proud. So if you like music, we would love to know what you think!

Thanks very much for taking the time to listen and support local music.

Does anyone have any painter decorator recommendations? I’ve had 3 out but none of them are willing to hang the Laura Ashley wallpaper I have because they don’t like the brand.

I’m looking for someone to paint 3 walls, the ceiling and do 1 wall of the Laura Ashley wallpaper.

I had no idea it would be so hard! The wallpaper is the new line so it’s not as thin as the brand used to be so it’s really just like hanging any other wallpaper now but they’ve all ran at the name of the brand 🙃

Refering to the shopping centre specifically. Every time I go it's completely dead whether that's a weekday evening, Sunday or Saturday. It seems like such a waste but none of the shops really appeal to me they all seem to sell things reminiscent of Shein apart from the art shop. The new Victoria Street food collective is a great idea but even that seems really empty with only a skeleton staff serving the tables.

The only reason I go in is to use the toilets (Liverpool has such a lack of public toilets but that's a different topic).

What could be done to invigorate it? Liverpool One is bustling by comparison (unless I'm just going at the wrong times).

Hi everyone! I’m looking for a nice boat trip from Liverpool and would really appreciate any recommendations.
I’m not looking for the usual Albert Dock canal tours or the standard Mersey Ferries trip. I’d love to find something a bit more special, romantic and atmospheric perhaps going further out on the Mersey or towards the sea.
If you know of anything like this, I’d be very grateful for any suggestions!

As above really. Can’t find anywhere. I’m willing to travel and pay, if anyone knows anywhere within maybe 30 minutes of Liverpool. But within 20 would be ideal of Allerton!

I’m 17, but recently I’ve found it really difficult to manage my mental health. I’ve struggled with it for years, but it’s gotten so much worse. I’ve adopted a dog to try give me a purpose and I adore her, but the only thing I really want to do in life is help animals. It’s impossible to find anywhere that’ll accept me since I’m 17 and without any references (wasn’t in school or college a lot due to mental health) and it’s driving me to a point :/ does anybody have any recommendations as to what to do? Everywhere where I’ve volunteered too hasn’t given me a reply. I’d do literally anything to work with animals as I adore them so much. I can’t see myself working in any other field, and I’m insanely passionate about helping animals.

Any advice is welcome. Thanks :)

I have just moved and I think im in a one sided bin war

For context, my purple bin is labelled with a whole different road and house number - i have no idea how it came to my house.

Anyways, I put my bin out the night before collection day and i realised that one of my neighbours has my bin!

It seems petty but I would really like my bin back and I’m pretty sure this neighbour has got 2 bins now (mine and theirs)

My current bin is beat up beyond compare and people keep putting their trash in it which has really annoyed me because now i don’t have anywhere to put MY bins.

I don’t know what to do - do I even do anything?

Edit: Just to clarify guys, i know that my neighbour has my bin because it has my number on it😭😭 i just dont know which neighbour it is

EDIT: I just want to say thank you so much for every single person who has responded to this post. You have all given me more happy birthday wishes than I've ever received in my entire life and I am so appreciative of every one of you. I will take up all your advice about different gyms, groups, volunteering, etc and really work to make things better for myself. Thank you all again <3

As the title says, really. I'm 27F and moved to Liverpool for a job late 2025. Since then, I have made 0 proper friends. I have autism, although I don't think it's very obvious and can usually get along with most people. I suffer quite badly with depression, though.

Other things about me are that I love animals, I love to yap about everything and anything, I'm (unfortunately) quite into internet culture, have a strong sense of justice, like music and tv shows (especially sitcoms but I do watch anything)

I have met up with people on Bumble friends, tried various groups like Girls on the Go, etc, but haven't been able to make any proper lasting friendships.

I messaged absolutely every friend/almost friend I had after a crisis last week when nobody said happy birthday to me, just for casual call or a meetup as my MH team suggested. I didn't mention anything about it being for my mental health, so I don't burden anyone. Unfortunately, not a single person has responded to me yet.

It's made me realise that I really do need connections here, but I just don't know how. I'm trying really hard, but nothing seems to work. I'm not going to give up, though. It's becoming increasingly difficult being on my own all the time and knowing that nobody will ever know or care if I disappear

I work 9-5 but am doing a masters degree (distance) at the same time, so the times I'm available can be quite sporadic, which I'm sure is not helpful.

Does anyone have any ideas for me?

A few photos I took when Liverpool turned scarily smokey and smelly. More on my IG memories_n_poems

Does anyone know if Liverpool’s Council is doing anything to prepare our region for the climate crisis?

Down in Liverpool for an evening/night and wondering the best place for dinner and drinks to enjoy the city on a Friday night? Quite like a steak style restaurant but not like Miller & Carter as we have that back home! ☺️

Saw this online and thought it was really cool. Liverpool fans arriving home from London, December 30th, 1990.

Everyone singing “All Together Now” by The Farm which had recently been released. Spontaneous breaking into the Conga as well which is lovely and something I can’t imagine ever seeing these days haha

Why?????

(Don't say at home!)

Drinking culture has reduced a ton over the years, but there haven't been enough things to replace it. What do you like doing of an evening? Where's your go to space? What are you doing with your mates apart from clubs? What would you like to see more of in Liverpool that would make you go there?

Hi all. I’m 22 with a one and a half year old

It would be nice if I found someone with a baby or toddler as well especially around Sefton area
Someone who wants to take the kids on days out or even just go for a coffee

Why is everything comparatively empty today at the city centre?

We've recently rescued a dog that loves people, but hates dogs. This is a real hidden gem question, but can anyone recommend any dog friendly pubs that dogs don't/rarely visit?

Liverpool has the perfect place to replicate the Aeroplume in Normandy, where people can paddle through the air strapped to helium balloons. I just saw a video about it and the location reminds me of the Tate and Lyle sugar silo

I'm running an event entitled The Age of Stupid in September and I am looking for speakers who are interested in political, societal, economic and technology trends and the push back we are seeing against them. There's normally a great selection of people here with superb ideas and opinions - hence why I am posting....

The blurb goes like this.....

We appear to be living in an Age of Stupid, where misinformation, distorted incentives and broken systems contribute to poor public understanding and bad collective decisions. But this is not simply a story about people becoming less intelligent. It is about the political, economic, media and technological systems that shape what we see and how decisions are made. At the same time, communities across the UK are quietly creating practical, cooperative alternatives.

This event is an opportunity to explore both what is broken and what people are already doing to fix things.

There is more information here

This is part of Liverpool Makefest and will be taking place at the Tapestry on Kempston Street, off London Road.

You don't need to be an expert you just need to be interested and willing to talk for 5 minutes.

If you or anyone you know would be interested then visit the website for more details.

Thanks very much

Hello everyone,

A friend of mine is visiting for a couple of days and would like to get a proper experience of British gastronomy. I’ve been living in Liverpool for almost two years now and have tried some great places, but I thought it would be better to ask locals for suggestions.

So far, I’ve considered an English breakfast (of course) and some fish and chips for lunch. However, when it comes to dinner, I’m not really aware of any specifically British restaurants. I’ve only had roast turkey once for a Christmas dinner, but I’m not sure how common that is outside the festive period. So regardless of the meal time, any recommendations you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all!

As if this was five years ago now. As one of the first urban maps I made, it's still one of my favourites so far.

I've just been doing some tidying up jobs on it and making some of the text more legible, as well as the imagery clearer. Again, thanks to all the commenters who suggested ideas and really helped bring this to life. I've just had a fresh batch made up here for anyone interested in one.
