Near Liverpool this weekend? Fancy some history? How about a great big slice of it? Then perhaps you should try Liverpool's Big History Weekend. You'll be able to learn everything you ever wanted to know about the history of Liverpool. There will be all kinds of things going on, including talks from local historians Steve Binns, Frank Carlyle and Janet Dugdale, among others, and BBC Radio Merseyside broadcasting live from St George's Hall tomorrow morning from 9:30am.
They shouldn't have any difficulty finding people to talk to as the hall will be filled with around 70 heritage and local history societies. If A History of the World in 100 Objects has got you thinking about ancient history then you could track down the Merseyside Archaeological Society. Or how about checking out the intricate small-scale, historical re-enactments of the Liverpool Wargames Association?
You can also bring us your history. There will be a stall where you can find out more about A History of the World and add your objects to the site.
So find out more about the history of Liverpool this weekend and even add to it yourself.
