What's on in Lingham

Merseyside, England

From craft workshops the kids won't stop asking about to quiz nights that'll test your knowledge of Merseyside trivia (yes, really) — Lingham has it sorted. Coffee mornings, farmers' markets, film screenings, book clubs, open mic nights, toddler groups, and the occasional village fête that runs like clockwork. All the events that happen in village halls and community centres and local venues that the big listings sites don't bother with. We check the parish council pages, the library noticeboards, the venue websites buried three clicks deep. If it's happening locally and it's worth knowing about, it's here.

The Paul O'Grady Story

“This free exhibition will be Paul’s gift to his hometown” The Paul O’Grady Story Major Retrospective Exhibition from 4th December to late 2027 A major exhibition delving into the private archive of Paul O’Grady, revealing his life in front of and behind the cameras will open in his hometown of Birkenhead at the end of this year. The Paul O’Grady Story will be a free exhibition at Williamson Art Gallery and will open on 4 December 2026. The exhibition, featuring a wider community and participation programme, will give a first glimpse into the extensive archive of Paul, contextualising him as an LGBTQIA+ icon, an award-winning broadcaster, passionate activist and someone who gave a voice to the voiceless, particularly those with four paws. From Tranmere to the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, the “blonde bombsite of Birkenhead” to Battersea Dog’s Home, the exhibition will present Paul O’Grady is one of Britain’s most cherished, and significant cultural figures. Supported by a grant of £241,484 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Wirral Council has collaborated with Andre Portasio as Creative Consultant in association with Joan Marshrons, alongside arts organisations Switchflicker and DuoVision. Birkenhead is at the heart of Paul O’Grady’s story, whether it is the acid tongue of Lily Savage, the humour and activism of Paul as a presenter and entertainer, the determination to stand up for a cause and the working-class identity at his core.
