GET INVOLVED

Your Borough of Culture

There are so many ways that you can get involved in Knowsley’s year as Borough of Culture.

Of course, you can attend one of the many events happening throughout 2022 but there is so much more you can do to be part of this extra special year.

Most people are very familiar with The Owl & the Pussy-Cat poem that tells the tale of two animals setting off to sea in a ‘beautiful pea green boat.’

Community events

Before the year even begins, the community of Knowsley have already been getting involved.

Throughout the summer of 2021 the 'Story Catchers' visited towns and villages across the borough to meet local people and capture ideas, stories and memories to help shape Knowsley’s Borough of Culture Year and to inspire and excite communities and individuals to get involved and be part of the celebrations that will happen in 2022.
