Coinciding with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic’s Open Day on 28th September, Hope Street Blend will bring together cultural partners along the famous Hope Street in a cascade of music and culture.

“We are delighted to be introducing Hope Street Blend, an opportunity to enjoy one of Liverpool’s finest streets. With a Cathedral at either end, the vibrant hum of daily life, with music and art filling every doorway and space, it is one of my favourite places to be in the city. Celebrating our best assets is something I’m very proud to do, and I can’t wait to be able to welcome as many people as possible into our Hope Street venues”.
