Eurovision on a budget – enjoy Liverpool for less.

Good evening, Europe! It's time to dust off those sequins, tune up those vocal cords, and get ready to sing your heart out as Liverpool plays host to the biggest music event of the year. That's right, after Sam Ryder’s second-place finish to Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra last year, Eurovision is coming back to the UK and Liverpool is ready to welcome the world with open arms (and plenty of partying). As the countdown to the grand finale begins, around half a million people from all over the globe are expected to flock to Liverpool from 8th-13th May to witness the best performers that the continent has to offer. And, if you're one of the lucky ones who will be joining them, then you're in for a real treat!
