Liverpool v Nottingham Forest.
📍 Anfield
⏰ 12.30pm
Early kick-off means match traffic around north Liverpool from mid-morning.
Where's your pre-match stop?
This is Liverpool Castle.
It was painted in 1878 by Liverpool artist William Gawin Herdman, more than 150 years after the castle had disappeared.
Herdman was attempting to reconstruct how Liverpool Castle may have looked in 1689, with William III’s troops arriving outside its walls.
The castle stood around what is now Derby Square, beside today’s Liverpool ONE.
Towers. Gatehouse. Moat. Soldiers.
A completely different Liverpool beneath streets thousands of us walk through every day.
Saturday in Liverpool:
⚽ LFC v Forest, 12.30
✈️ Southport Air Show
🎸 Beatleweek
🏛 Minton floor
🎭 Take Me Home County Road

🌊 CAN YOU ACTUALLY SWIM IN THE MERSEY?
You look at the river on a sunny day and think…
“I could swim that.”
But could you? And more importantly… should you? 👀
The Mersey is tidal, fast-moving and definitely not your average swimming spot.
So Liverpool, be honest:
🏊 Would you swim in the Mersey?
😬 Absolutely not
😂 Only if someone paid me
💪 Already done it
And if you have swum in it, we need the story. 👇
