About

This tour offers a unique opportunity to delve into the shared history of Liverpool and its Polish community, celebrating over two centuries of heritage and resilience. We uncovered new stories about Polish community! New stops added!


Join us for a fascinating walking tour exploring the rich history of the Polish community in Liverpool, which dates back to the 1800s. This tour will take you through significant landmarks and hidden gems that tell the story of Polish immigrants and their contributions to the city. Discover the cultural, social, and historical impact of the Polish community in Liverpool as we visit key sites, including:

Polish Churches: Learn about the role of Polish religious institutions in fostering community and preserving cultural traditions.
Polish Cultural Centres: Explore venues that have served as hubs for Polish cultural activities, social gatherings, and support networks.
Monuments and Memorials: Pay tribute to the Polish individuals and groups who have left a lasting legacy in Liverpool.
Residential Areas: Walk through streets of Liverpool city Centre where Polish immigrants settled and built their lives, shaping the local culture and economy.
.
Those stories are still often hidden in the archives, and we want to welcome you to explore them with us. At Merseyside Polonia, we have put together a walking tour of Liverpool, starting at Abercromby Square and ending at The Pier Head, showcasing many of the great sites and landmarks of the city and drawing together the links between Poland and Liverpool along the way.
