The Giants are returning to Liverpool! What to do in Wirral
In April 2012 Liverpool played host to one of the most spectacular outdoor events. It was host to the Giant Spectacular Sea Odyssey. It was a 3-day event to commemorate the Titanic sinking and featured giant marionettes roaming the city. Based on a little girl’s letter to her father, who didn’t survive the disaster. She wandered around the city with her dog looking for her uncle.
I took Olivia over, and it was an amazing experience to watch, and so many people turned up to see her journey! Ironically we watched the event stood opposite the White Star Line building! I actually got goosebumps thinking that 100 years earlier people were gathered outside the same building for their families’ answers and news.
This year the Giants are back! Starting their 5 days spectacular on Wednesday 23th July 2014 with Grandmother spending 2 days asleep in St Georges Hall before the main walking part of the attraction from Friday 25th. This year, it will be commemorating the start of WW1 in August 1914.
There will be a new story, and I will be heading over on Sunday to witness the spectacular event once again! For more information head over to their website for details of routes and story and all other helpful advice like road closures.
I can’t wait to see this again should be another perfect experience fingers crossed it doesn’t rain!
