Photo Gallery: Borough of Culture finale wows crowds in New Brighton
06 November 2024
Crowds flocked to New Brighton over the Halloween weekend to enjoy the finale to Wirral's year as Borough of Culture.
World-renowned outdoor arts organisation Walk the Plank helped to deliver the event, which included Monty the giant fiery sea monster, rousing beats from Katumba drummers, a swimming performance by Friends of New Brighton Marine Lake, ghostly street theatre with spirit Caribou, and song and dance routines by young people from Stage-Ed.
Here are some of our favourite photos from the six shows that took place over the Friday and Saturday evenings.
