As Wirral prepares to welcome hundreds of thousands of visitors to The Open, local businesses are being invited to show their support by displaying a small welcome sticker for visitors and regular customers.

The welcome stickers, which are easily displayed on the inside of windows, were announced at a special meeting earlier this month with representatives from Wirral Council’s licensing team and the managers of licensed venues in Hoylake and West Kirby.

Members of the Council’s Open delivery team will be distributing the stickers to venues in the area in the coming weeks. Businesses can also collect one of the free stickers from the drop-in office at Hoylake golf course:

Hoylake Municipal Golf Club, Carr Lane, Hoylake, CH47 4BG.  Opening times for the drop-in centre are:

  • May: Mon-Wed 9am-12pm and 1pm-4.30pm
  • June & July: Mon-Fri 9am-12pm and 1pm-4.30pm
  • August: Mon-Wed 9am-12pm and 1pm-4.30pm

Businesses can also download their free toolkit to help them prepare and promote themselves.
