Supported by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Culture Liverpool invited organisations to apply for grants of up to £2,000 to get into the Eurovision spirit by hosting events that celebrate the competition itself, the relationship with our friends in Ukraine and the wider European heritage in Liverpool.

Over 60 community groups and grassroots organisations received funding to spread the Eurovision magic across Liverpool City Region. From a hip hop block party to hairdressing and nail art classes, people right across Liverpool, Wirral, Sefton, Halton, St Helens and Knowsley were able to get into the Eurovision spirit.
