 In partnership with them we have created an exhibition involving artists from all over Merseyside who have produced works on the theme of the show. There was a competition for the best works with three prizes of £100, £75, and £50, sponsored by Queenie's charity which were presented by Herbert of Liverpool.

The exhibition is open Monday to Friday,12 to 4pm and will run to Wednesday 19th May
