What’s on in August

This month we are all about outdoors, music and summer fun. With a jam-packed calendar of events this August in Liverpool, you’ll find tons to do for all the family. Read on for your monthly round up of what’s on in August from Base Serviced Apartments.

Cirque Du Soleil 16-19^th August

The world-famous Cirque du Soleil is coming to Liverpool on their brand new UK arena tour this August. The show is a celebration of nature and co-existence with a fun-filled production of over 50 performing artists from 17 countries! The show’s theme (OVO) which means “egg” in Portuguese, is a headlong rush into a colourful ecosystem teeming with life, where insects work, eat crawl, flutter, play, fight and look for love in a non-stop riot of energy and movement.

With elite performances from world class acrobats, this is a spectacular and memorable event for the whole family. Find out more and grab your tickets here. Looking for a place to stay right next to the Echo Arena? Take a look at Base Apartments Docks location.

Red Bull Drift Shifters 19^th August

Calling all Piston heads! Arguably one of the biggest, loudest and most precise motor sports events to ever hit the UK – Red Bull Drift Shifters is coming to Liverpool this August. Drift Shifters is an event like no other. It takes the world’s best drifters, put them on a custom track on the streets of a city and rig it with high tech speed and proximity sensors. Drivers will show off their skill, speed and precision as they manoeuvre their way around the features right next to the crowd and all in the shadow of Liverpool’s iconic Liver Building.

With Liverpool being the home to many scenes in past Fast and Furious movies, what better place to host such an event? For tickets and more information, visit here. To stay with Base over the weekend, view our range of city centre apartments here.

International Beatleweek 22-28^th August

The annual International Beatleweek Festival returns this August to celebrate the music of the most famous pop group the world has ever known, The Beatles. What better place to celebrate than in the city where it all began? There’s so much to do and see that there’s no need to be a Beatles fan to enjoy the festival – with live music the main focus, there’ll be bands playing at the cavern every hour, all day every day. The festival also spreads out across the city into various venues with theatre shows, outdoor parties and a Beatles convention at one of Liverpool’s iconic hotels.

This truly is an international event not to be missed, with 70 bands from over 20 countries and fans from over 40! To experience The Beatle Mania – find out more here.
