On the evening of Friday 9th and all day and into the night on Saturday 10th December, Kirkdale businesses transform into DIY performance spaces, empty shops magic into Christmas pop-ups, and Kirkdale pubs and restaurants sparkle with everything local community.

Do you have a skill, interest or an activity you would like to share with the Kirkdale community? Here is your chance! Deadline is 18th November, so don't delay...


It can be anything you like, and we are also encouraging people to run taster classes in something they might like to offer as longer sessions in the future.


These sessions are just 45 minutes long each, so won?t take a huge amount of planning. If you really want to run an event but aren?t feeling confident doing something like this for the first time ? talk to us! We can probably guide you through it.


At the moment we aren't considering market stalls, simply because we are focusing on the workshop/performance aspect, but by all means tell us of your interest in one, and we will keep you informed!

It's looking really good so far: we've got a bhangra DJ, a steel band, massage, yoga, poetry workshop (write a poem about the pop-up - very 'Saturday Live' dahlings), singing, drumming, a potential Austrian Big Breakfast, a fashion show, kids activities and more. And there is still room for even more! Kirkdale is going to be the place to be - and it's just a stone's throw from LL!

    • Thanks for that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
