Eurovision 2023: What's On
As Liverpool gears up to host the Eurovision Song Contest 2023- on behalf of Ukraine, we've pulled together a list of events for our Students and Staff to enjoy.
Since it was announced that Liverpool will host the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, preparations have been underway both on and off campus to celebrate the power of music, diversity and unity like never before. Paul Curtis, a Liverpool artist well known for his street art and large murals, has created a new public work on the side of the Guild of Students building, with a theme of peace in recognition of the events that have led the city to host Eurovision on Ukraine’s behalf. Don’t forget to check it out.
