Giant Spectacular Returns!

September 21, 2022
|
by Editor

Be prepared for something large coming to the city, when the Giant Spectacular returns to Liverpool this October! Set to walk the streets this Autumn with a new enchanting story to tell, is the masterminds and world’s leading street theatre company Royal De Luxe. Hundreds and thousands of attendees will be overwhelmed with delight when the beautiful Giants visit Liverpool & Wirral in the final story.

This year’s story which had been kept under wraps, has revealed its stunning art work created by Liverpool artist Alice Duke, with the theme of the four-day event based on Liverpool’s Dream. The chosen story has not yet been disclosed, but the route will see our giant visitors explore parts of Wirral including the stunning lighthouse and Princes Park will also feature as part of the show, with some very special activities planned for the green space. These both locations will feature on Friday 5th October. We can assure that the final piece of the spectacular Giant trilogy is set to leave the crowds in awe.

The Giants first visited in 2012 which seen Sea Odyssey, a story of love, loss, letters and ill fainted ocean liner. They then returned in 2014 which was in remembrance of the First World War, which included a parade waving goodbye to loved ones heading off to war, and the stars of this show stopping event, Little Girl Giant, the Grandmother and Xolo the endearing dog.

The last saga in this fascinating masterpiece, will see a first with the Giants appearing on not only Liverpool but the Wirral side of the River Mersey, bringing the closure of this theatrical magnificent story.
