days. From food festivals packed with global flavours to open-air basketball showdowns and 90s pop nostalgia trips, there’s something for just about everyone - no matter your mood or budget.

Summer might still be finding its feet, but Liverpool and its surrounding areas are already delivering the sort of energy we’ve all been craving. You could be grazing through artisan bites

in Southport one moment, then dancing to underground beats in the Baltic the next. Or, if you’re after a slower pace, there’s always the Makers Market in the peaceful grounds of Calderstones

Park. It’s a great chance to support local talent - whether that’s musicians, food vendors, crafters, or community sports groups. So grab your sunglasses (just in case), check your train

times, and make the most of what Merseyside has to offer. Here’s what’s on this weekend: SOUTHPORT FOOD AND DRINK FESTIVAL Sunshine or not, Southport’s Victoria Park will be buzzing this

weekend with the smell of sizzling street food. The annual Southport Food and Drink Festival is back, and it’s a proper celebration of all things edible. Expect a line-up of global flavours:

crepes, churros, gourmet burgers, hot wings and more. On the producer side, you’ll find everything from chutneys and pickles to handmade cheeses and sweet pies. There’s also a strong

showing from local favourites, including traditional pies, sausages and ice cream from nearby dairies. Live music from local bands will add to the festival atmosphere throughout the weekend.

The event began on Friday, May 30 and will continue until Sunday, June 1. For more information, click here. BALTIC WEEKENDER Baltic Weekender has your Saturday night (May 31) sorted. A
