Friday 5th October

On the 5th October, the sleeping giants will be waking up on St George’s Hall Plateau at 10:00. Walking to Lime Street, past the Bombed Out Church and continuing up Upper Duke Street and Catherine Street, this forms the first stretch of their three-day journey. Next, they will venture across Upper Parliament Street, heading up Princes Road towards Princes Park for a break. After a short break, when visitors can see them up close, the Liverpool giants will wake up at 4:15 and walk back into town down Duke Street, passing Liverpool One on Paradise Street and Liver Street, not far from the famous Baltic Triangle. The giants will then head to Queens Wharf for their first night’s sleep.

There will also be a giant on the Wirral who will wake up next to the Fort Perch Rock lighthouse in New Brighton at 11:15 and walk along the Marine Promenade towards Kings Parade where it will have a siesta. Waking up at 3:00, it will go along Kings Parade, Marine Promenade, Tower Promenade towards Magazines Promenade, giving Wirral residents a chance to see the giants on their own streets. Jean Luc Courcoult, the genius behind the giants in Liverpool enthused about the spectacle stating:

“The welcome we receive from the people of the city warms our hearts and we are excited about not only bringing a brand-new story to Liverpool, but also to exploring beautiful Wirral for the first time.

“As it will be our last giant show here we think it will be very special, and we hope people will enjoy our final farewell to the city which is our second home.”
