Thanks probably won't get there til pm Sunday but I'm sure we'll find something going on

Hi Silvana.

I work at the Liverpool Echo. We've recently created a guide to all the Chinese New Year celebrations in Liverpool 2013 and thought it may be of interest to you. You can find it here: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-news/in-the-mix/2012/12/13/chinese-new-year-in-liverpool-2013-guide-to-parades-fireworks-festivals-and-more-100252-32419786/

Thanks

Brilliant Ste and welcome to the forum, you'll be great for answering many of the events questions on here

...because there are a fair few events we find out about (usually from the Echo) after the event has happened ! ;-)

Don't you just love the Echo?

Over 50 years ago I started work in an office in Castle St. When I left work at 5pm on my walk for my train from Exchange Station I used to buy my evening paper from a very fat guy who used to set up on the steps of Martins Bank ,I think, on the corner of Brunswick St.,could have been Fenwick St. His call was "Hexpress n Hecho".The Echo bought out the Express.

Paid him for the paper-he always said "Thank you Sir". A lifetime of inane memories.

Exchange Station?? Memories!!! Coming to Liverpool after far too long away with my Scottish husband. Cannot wait!!!

I can't remember the last time I heard an Echo seller shouting "Echo", or even "Hecho" !

In fact there's not many street sellers left, not since Tesco opened a shop on virtually every street corner in Liverpool city centre. :-/

Silvan try to get here for the celebrations, last years were great with food sellers, kiddies funfair, market and the dragon dances and fireworks. There were also exhibitions in the balckie and the bombed out church.
