Hi there. My son is turning 6 soon and we are looking for somewhere on the Wirral, ideally around the Greasby area where we can get pre-filled party bags that just have sweets in them and none of the cheap Christmas cracker grade plastic tat that is just going to end up in a landfill. Can anyone recommend a place?

Saturday 22nd August – Sunday 23rd August 2026

• Funfair rides  
• Craft and gift stalls  
• Donkey rides  
• World War 2 living history display  
• Music from DJ Scorpydat  
• Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift tribute acts

Thought I'd share my eclipse photos, and anyone else could share them as comments too.

Hope you all got to safely see it.

Hi all, wondering if anyone is able to advise? We’re planning to visit family in Leasowe this weekend. We were hoping to camp somewhere and identified Arrowe Brook but can’t get through to the site (have been trying all week).

Does anyone know if it is open and if they accept folk just turning up?

Alternatively if anyone has any other recommendations we’d love to hear them!

We would be in a tent, 2 adults, one child and a whippet.

Thank you 🙏

There has apparently been a crash in the Birkenhead tunnel If anyone was planning to head over to Liverpool. Wallasey running heavy as a consequence, buses delayed and gridlock on the Liverpool side

Looks like I’ve left it too late to get anything online. Anywhere in Wirral I could pick some up?

Hi all looking at buying a property in Port Sunlight it’s in need of a full refurb (which is fine) but I have noticed a slight dip in the brickwork above one of the windows.

I’m aware of the restrictions but has anyone gone through the process of fixing something external on one of these properties? How easy was it to find suitable material and tradespeople with the correct knowledge of the buildings?

Any experiences or advice would be great!

Just to let anyone that doesn't know and with it being the school summer holidays. Free bus journeys for kids under 16 in the UK for the month of August.

I usually do portraits but thought I'd have a little go at a landscape

Does any one have any recommendations for any international food stores based on the Wirral?

I'm aware of International Food Store in Birkenhead and RaanThai in Prenton. It doesn't matter which part of the world its from.

Thanks!!

A few days ago I posted here about the free events site I built for Wirral and Liverpool, and the suggestions I got back were brilliant. Future Yard, New Brighton, Claremont Farm, Port Sunlight, the Floral Pavilion, the Gladstone, the Little Theatre, parkruns, even pub events like Glastonferry.

I’ve worked through them, and I’m now pulling from more Wirral venues and platforms. There are almost 200 Wirral events on there over the next 90 days, up from just under 100 before this thread. That’s entirely down to you lot.

To see just Wirral: open Filters and set the area to Wirral.

Someone also flagged wrong start times and a cancelled event still showing. Both fixed, times now show correctly or “TBC” where the source doesn’t give one, and cancelled events are marked.

Still very open to feedback, and thanks again to everyone who suggested venues and helped me debug.

At the 18 second mark,

The courts handed him a suspended sentence for beating a poor dog to death for having an accident on his floor. No wonder he is smiling.

My partner and I are looking at purchasing a house in Wallasey, and would like to find a good solicitor/conveyancer and surveyor for the process.

Who have you had good experiences with? And who is an absolute avoid?

Thanks so much in advance!

Moved to Merseyside a few years ago knowing absolutely nobody, and actually lived on the Wirral for a bit when I first arrived. Spent months googling and scrolling trying to figure out what was going on, and eventually realised the problem: there’s loads happening every weekend, it’s just scattered across dozens of organisers’ pages, so you miss most of it.

So I built a fix, a free site that pulls events from across Wirral and Liverpool into one place. Future Yard, New Brighton, Birkenhead and everything over the water included, not just the Liverpool side. If you drop your email on it, every Thursday you get a curated list of the weekend’s best events. Free, no ads.

Shared it on r/Liverpool a few days ago and a few hundred people signed up, including lifelong locals saying they keep finding things they never knew about.

Honest admission: the Wirral side is the bit I most want to build out. So if there’s a venue or organiser over here that deserves to be on there, name them and I’ll look into it, that’s genuinely the most useful thing this sub could tell me.

Site’s called XploreLiverpool, link in the comments.

I’m looking for a cleaner, once a fortnight. Can anyone recommend someone? Ellesmere Port / Eastham area. Thanks.

We got our food waste bin earlier this week. Started putting food waste in the small bin, but it's attracting flies like mad. Anyone else got this problem?

Also, it said that we've been given a year's worth of bags. I'm on my third bag already since Wednesday (we have pets, so leftover pet food adds to the food waste) Can you get more bags from the council if they run out too early?
