By Steven Harrison


The cities of London, Manchester and Liverpool are some of the largest and best known English cities in the world. For sports and cultural enthusiasts, the city of Liverpool lies in the heart of several fans. It has a wonderfully rich tradition and has been the center of culture in England for a long time. Any visitor going to the city cannot fail to get a shocking array of beauty and vibrancy. The Liverpool calendar is a busy one, with good reason.

This city is home to arguably the largest rock bands of the twentieth century, the Beetles. So strong are its cultural roots that in 2008, it was one of two cities that were named as the European capitals of culture. Throughout the year, it hosts several exhibitions, music shows, theater shows and sporting events.

Among the most famous events it hosts is the Mathew street festival. Every year, thousands upon thousands of visitors and locals flock the streets listening to music from several bands playing either live or recorded. Usually in late summer, visitors listen to nearly eighty hours of music which end in a two day climax of great fun.

Similar to the street festival is the Sound City Music and Cultural Festival that takes place at the heart of this city. There are many artists who go there to listen to the great music the city has to offer. Artists come to showcase and view art pieces while musicians come to play to thousands of adoring fans. For nearly a week, there is an amazing display of culture and tradition.

The other thing that cannot be ignored about the city is its long and unparalleled sporting history. Best known for its soccer, there are several other sporting events that take place in the city as well. Chief among these is the Grand National horse racing event. This timid yet exciting sport draws visitors and locals from all walks of life. It is part of the DNA of the country and has enhanced the reputation of this city greatly.

The love affair between soccer and Liverpool is one that stretches for over a hundred years. Year after year, fans flock stadia every weekend to watch their teams play host to other teams from other parts of England. Everton FC and Liverpool FC are the two largest clubs in the city. At least twice a year, these two teams play against each other in matches that bring the entire city to a halt.

Other sports that feature on the calendar include golf, marathons, rugby and tennis. There are many sportsmen born in the city that have gone on to dominate the world. This is synonymous with the rest of Northern England, known for producing sportsmen like David Beckham and Wayne Rooney.
