Free Park-and-Ride service for Eurovision Welcome Concert

Music fans attending The National Lottery’s Big Eurovision Welcome concert on Sunday, 7 May are being offered a free park-and-ride service.

Liverpool City Council and Liverpool City Region Combined Authority have joined forces to give free access to a minimum of 1,000 vehicles at the Stanley Park car park, next to Liverpool FC’s Anfield stadium.

The surface-level car park, which will be accessed from Priory Road, opposite Anfield cemetery, will open at 12 noon with buses taking concert goers on a 15-minute journey from Arkles Lane, to Queen Square bus station.

Drivers will need to show their concert ticket to gain access.

Gates open at 5:45pm for the spectacular live show outside St George’s Hall, which features a historic reunion performance by ‘80s legends Frankie Goes to Hollywood, as well as The Real Thing, The Lightning Seeds and many other stars, to an audience of 30,000 people.

Once the 90-minute outdoor spectacle ends at 10pm, buses will begin departing from Queen Square bus station. The Anfield car park will remain open and accessible until midnight.

The park-and-ride service is one of a number of special public transport arrangements in place for Eurovision. Event goers are urged to plan their journeys to help make their night a success. Information and advice is available on the Merseytravel website (www.merseytravel.gov.uk) and direct from transport operators.

The outdoor concert, which mirrors Liverpool’s opening ceremony of the European Capital of Culture in 2008 and is the single biggest event for Eurovision 2023, includes spectacular aerial and dance performances from some of the UK’s finest National Lottery-funded dance groups including: House of Suarez, Zoo Nation and Motionhouse.

Liverpool’s iconic Cream will present a unique collaboration with 2023 Brit Award Winner Becky Hill, as well as a performance from Ukrainian music legend and Eurovision winner Jamala, and Eurovision superstar Conchita Wurst. In addition, cameos and contributions from Liverpool royalty Ricky Tomlinson and Shirley Ballas are amongst those contributing on the night.

A proportion of tickets have been reserved for Ukrainian residents in the UK, including refugees supported by National Lottery-funded organisations, as well as community groups from Liverpool.

  • Highlights of The National Lottery’s ‘Big Eurovision Welcome’ will be shown as part of ‘Eurovision Welcomes The World’ programme on BBC One at 6:30pm on Monday, 8 May. Will also be available on BBC iPlayer.
