Want to make the most of Liverpool next year?
Make sure you’ve got somewhere to live
The Palm House
You said you would go to Fiesta Bombarda but you missed the tickets. You said you’d go to a yoga class there. You said you’d go. Well, soon summer will be here and exams will be done so you’ll have no excuse.
Go for a wander through Sefton Park, relax on a bench with a glorious view and visit the insanely photogenic palm house.
Speaking of Fiesta Bombarda, you also said you’d go to one of them
It’s renowned across the city for being one of the best events of the year.
With well-decorated venues, face paint, glow sticks and live bands, Fiesta brings an atmosphere that all your mates with different music tastes can enjoy.

Ghetto Golf
Who has time for 18 holes when they’re revising??
Ghetto Golf has been a welcome addition to the Baltic Triangle this year – it’s a good hour or so of cheap fun and you can drink there. It’s even perfect for a fun first date if you’re looking for some summer lovin’.
They play good music and the holes are difficult but so well designed, you’ll be Tiger Woods in no time (without the scandal).
Go for a meal in China Town
It’s undeniable that Liverpool is great for food. Not only does it boast hundreds of independent restaurants for all tastes and cultures, but it’s home to the oldest Chinese community in Europe, and with that comes excellent Chinese food.
It even has restaurants open 24hours. TWENTY FOUR HOURS.
Whether you want to go for a civilised meal with your parents or for a quick catch up with your friends, drop in for some duck and spring rolls before you leave.
Live even closer to Liverpool’s great restaurants
Student.com have loads of flats in the city centre so you no longer have to trek to dinner
Visit the Metropolitan Cathedral
Sure, it looks like an alien spaceship that will either beam you to Mars or trap you in a cult, but it’s beautiful inside. In true edgy Liverpool fashion, there’s even a Tracy Emin work in there.
How many churches do you know of that have niche non-Jesus-based artwork in them?
Head to Independent Liverpool’s new food market
The blog known throughout the city as Independent Liverpool are opening the city’s first food market in June. It’ll be host to stalls from restaurants and food outlets all over the city, and at weekends will hold DJs, quizzes and film screenings.
Go to the Cavern Club
Ah, the most Liverpool of all things Liverpool, the most tourist of all things tourist. It’s practically blasphemy to have spent so much time in this city and not visited the birth place of such an iconic part of Liverpool’s heritage: The Beatles.
Head down for a drink and some karaoke and soak in the ~culture~.
The Cavern Club isn’t the only thing Liverpool has to offer

Bongo’s Bingo
You’ve heard your friend’s friend made £100 there and your housemate has already won a giant novelty garden gnome. Where’s your prize?
It’s one of the best nights out that Liverpool has to offer, getting so popular in the past year that it’s had to become a ticketed event. Reserve your space and get ready to sing your heart out to tragic pop bangers and get showered with Coco Pops.
