Rainy Day Picks This Weekend
11–12 July Near Little Altcar
Not every listing gets a golden ticket
We check the usual frankly silly number of local websites, then look for events that feel rainy-day friendly: cinemas, theatres, talks, workshops, galleries, concerts, cosy venues, and anything less likely to involve standing in a muddy field making brave weather noises.
Happening Saturday 11 July to Sunday 12 July.
Picked for Little Altcar, not somewhere halfway across the county.
Only Local Gems and Curated venues make the cut, because standards are still a thing.
Listings with proper descriptions get bumped up the list. Three words and a shrug will not do.

3Ian Prowse & Amsterdam
at Music Room, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall
To celebrate 20 years of High Summer shows at the Phil Ian Prowse & Amsterdam will play a 2 night stand in the Music Room on July 10th & 11th. The Friday will be our traditional all seated acoustic show where anything from the back catalogue might get played. Then on Saturday we move out the chairs and have a full 7 piece band party! Merseyside hero Ian Prowse is a guitarist, singer-songwriter, and frontman of Amsterdam and previously the frontman of indie cult band Pele. Raised on protest songs, influenced by the Celtic sounds that make Liverpool so unique, and inspired by the song writing craftsmanship of Paul Weller, Mike Scott, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello, Ian's 30-year songwriting career and live shows have gathered him a reputation as the 'Scouse Springsteen' amongst his devoted fans. Ian Prowse and Amsterdam completed their special guest slot for Elvis Costello on his UK tour in 2023, following the amazing reaction to his latest LP One Hand On The Starry Plough. For this celebration show, the band will be playing Amsterdam and Prowse classics, as well as a few surprises. This is a standing event. Sat 11 Jul 8pm £23 Sold Out 10% administrative fee applies for online & telephone orders. A £2.50 postage fee is applicable on all orders if opting for postal delivery. More information about booking fees Ticket prices for this event include a venue restoration levy. More information about our venue restoration levy
