22+ Fun Things To Do in Liverpool this summer (Instead of Doomscrolling)
Bored? Searching for fun things to do? This is an unconventional list, of NON boring, and NON basic things to do in Liverpool.
If you want to skip, the FREE stuff is at the end.
Who am I to tell you this? I’m Ella, and over the last few years, I began a quest to add ENRICHMENT into my life: to exist outside of my job; and build my identity through taste-making, and trying all sorts of activities/events/random side-quests. I’ve documented it all on TikTok and it’s become my full time job (ikr CRAZY)!! Anyway, here’s my easily digestible list of fun things to do in Liverpool, solo, with friends, maybe even on dates.
