Get the fear factor
You may have heard about how terrifying Newsham Park Hospital is, but you really need to see this for yourself! Head to the abandoned hospital and orphanage this weekend for a ghost hunt in the horrifying location. The building, which has been named one of North West’s most haunted, has an incredibly eerie atmosphere and lots of spooky things have been reported over the years. Find out for yourself here.
Queens of Syria
An eye opening show titled ‘Queens of Syria’ is on at the Everyman Theatre this weekend. The play, which is performed by an all-female cast of Syrian refugees, is an adaptation of Euripides anti-war tragedy The Trojan Woman. This is your opportunity to hear the stories of women whose lives have been turned upside down by conflict. The show, which is in partnership with Liverpool Arab Arts Festival, is performed in Arabic with English subtitles. Find out more here.
