Throughout being open on our 'Open Days', we have met people from all over the world and greeted over 24,000 people. Throughout the year we have heard insightful stories about families, visitors’ history and what the Bombed Out Church means to them.

 

Thank you to everyone for their support throughout this year, from volunteers, clients, suppliers, promoters, attendees and open day visitors.

 

We care deeply about the Bombed Out Church and all our efforts aim to help conserve and boost engagement with this vital part of Liverpool’s identity.

 

From all of us here at St Luke’s Bombed Out Church, we wish you all a lovely holiday season and we look forward to what 2024 brings and seeing you all again for another busy year.

After testing several browser racers, I found Drive Mad online more skill-focused than expected. Small adjustments can completely change the outcome of a run.
