EDITOR’S LETTER...

Now that school’s out the summer is officially in full swing, and with the help of Your Move you’ll have no problems keeping the kids occupied. If you’re eating out, we’ve made a handy list of the best eateries for young foodies and, as always, our What’s On page has great ideas for fun days out.

If you like nothing more than spending the holidays basking in the sun with a good book, then maybe our interview with crime novelist Christine Andain will tickle your fancy.

And for second-steppers or those hoping to snap up a bargain home at auction, fear not, this latest issue has all you need to know. We’d also like to congratulate competition winner Brian Evans who won a family pass to Mickey’s Rockin’ Road Show.

uring recent years the tougher housing market has seen a wider range of properties going under the hammer, such as repossessed homes that banks and lenders are looking to quickly shift. There’s also the chance of a promising renovation project, a bargain when the vendor is looking for a speedy sale, or benefitting from someone with numerous properties who is looking to cash in on a part of their portfolio. Striking a deal in such a fast-paced buying and selling environment isn’t without its risks though, so making sure you’re clued up on how a property auction works is a must.

been purchased on auction day the buyer will accept responsibility for the building in its current state, so not researching thoroughly and finding out about any necessary building works beforehand could see the buyer being hit with maintenance costs they never expected.

Cathy Holt, auction manageress at Sutton Kersh Auctions, says: “Often properties sold at auction are in need of repair and modernisation which requires investment from the purchaser to bring it up to a liveable standard. It is therefore

term finance. It is an interest only loan that can be obtained quickly and is usually repaid by refinancing it on a term basis or by selling the property.”

An even bigger issue for many can be that bidders can lose out on cash without even sealing a deal at auction. In order to reduce the possibility of costly problems emerging with a property after auction, or to be caught short on the money front without the finances in place to pay for the property, potential buyers will have to

important that the buyer is aware of the state of the property and the amount of work required before bidding to ensure it is within their budget and capabilities.”

Not ensuring that mortgages are finalised

pay out for all the necessary assistance from financial and legal experts in the early stages without any guarantee that they’ll be successful on auction day.

WHY CHOOSE AN AUCTION? According to Chris Johnson, managing partner at Smith and Sons: “Auctions are becoming widely accepted as the best means of getting the best price for a certain type of property with no last minute hitches or withdrawals.

He adds: “Houses in need of renovation are proving extremely popular at auction and are in great demand from builders, investors and owner occupiers. Commercial and residential investments provide a great opportunity to achieve a high yield together with future capital growth.”

Bagging bargains or spotting investment opportunities are not the only advantages of opting for auction either. Unlike when going through an estate agent, a sale is sure to be wrapped up quickly with deals being agreed as soon as the hammer falls and completion then due in a matter of weeks. With everything ready to go, there’s also no risk of chains falling through or the buyer being gazumped as a higher price has been offered from elsewhere.

BIDDING PREPARATIONS Doing plenty of research up front is key when it comes to getting the best deal in an auction, and the earlier potential buyers catch a glimpse of auctioneers’ catalogues and decide on the property they are interested in, the more time there will be to lay the foundations for a successful bid.

The Auction People suggests keeping a close eye on the market by signing up to local auctioneers’ mailing lists, then requesting legal information about the chosen property and going to view it to get a “better feel for its potential,” before sending the details to solicitors or conveyancers for the usual checks to be carried out.

Kate Lay, head of residential at the firm, says: “Just before you attend the auction, make the financial arrangements to ensure you have a 10% deposit ready for the day and that you're all set to pay the remaining 90% within 28 days as soon as the contracts are signed. If you need a mortgage, have this arranged in advance to avoid missing out.

RISKS OF AN AUCTION Those who opt for buying at auction can reap benefits, but it’s important to be mindful of the risks involved too. As soon as a property has

DURING THE AUCTION

before the auction could also potentially bring problems, as the purchaser will be obliged by law to hand over the deposit immediately and will then only have a few weeks to stump up the rest of the cash.

Cathy adds: “Bridging finance loans are becoming increasingly popular. This is a short term loan usually taken out from between one to 12 months pending the arrangement of longer

Property auctions aren’t for the faint hearted, but potential buyers should try to remain calm on the day. Again, having carried out as much preparation as possible before the event can help to ease the pressure.

Bidders are advised to arrive early with their 10% deposit at the ready and proof of ID to be in with a chance of success, and should also be wise and stick strictly to a maximum price within their budget that they’ve been decided on before the bidding begins.

If the bids don’t meet the vendor’s undisclosed reserve price they may still be willing to negotiate a sale after the auction if they are keen to shift the property.

For interested would-be buyers who can’t make it on the day, all may not be lost. Seek advice from auctioneers beforehand on whether it is possible carry out the bidding over the phone.

I’m a first time buyer saving a deposit for a house. It’s taking longer than expected and I am in need of short-term accommodation. I’ve seen some properties with licence agreements instead of tenancy agreements. What’s the difference?

What happens if the house I’m interested in buying is in probate?

Will it take longer to purchase the property? I’m worried there might be lengthy delays.

My property is featured in a catalogue to be auctioned but I’ve already been approached with an offer before the auction day.

Am I allowed to accept it and pull out of the auction process?

Mrs P. Harrington, L8

Mr J. Turnbull, L18

Miss J. Simpkin, L7

If you are purchasing a property that is still in the process of probate then this won’t necessarily delay the sales completion.

The sale of the property can go all the way to the end stage of being ‘sale agreed’ so past the survey coming back, contracts and searches being carried out.

However, the sale of the property cannot be completed until probate has been passed for the property.

On average, the process of probate being passed usually takes around three weeks, whereas a sales timescale from offer to completion takes between six to eight weeks so realistically there will only be a small chance of probate delaying the completion.

It’s not uncommon for offers to be made before the day of the sale and if this is thought to be a particularly attractive offer then you’re quite entitled to accept this on the understanding that contracts will be exchanged before the date of sale with completion normally 28 days thereafter.

If there has been a good deal of interest in the property during the marketing period, we would normally recommend that it stay in the auction as more likely than not, a higher price will be achieved through competitive bidding than offered beforehand.

However if there have been few viewings and the offer is acceptable to you, you may feel justified having spoken to the auctioneer in agreeing a sale.

You will still be responsible for the auctioneers’ fees and you should work closely with them in deciding whether or not to accept the offer. They will be aware of the amount of interest shown once the catalogue has been published and will advise as to the best course of action.

Q

Becoming a property guardian is a great way to save for a deposit for your own place. There are many differences between licence agreements and tenancies. With a licence agreement you would be given a living space in a building for a reduced cost compared to a tenancy.

This could be in any type of building such as a flat or house, but also a school or office. It provides a flexible way of living and is temporary, though if it is taken the agent will always try to re-house when the tenancy comes to an end. The rules and regulations as well as the rights differ to those of a tenancy agreement and it is important that you check what these are before choosing a licence agreement. At Ad Hoc we give you a guardian handbook to illustrate this.

LIVERPOOL’S LATEST NEWS

Networking in The Albany’s courtyard

A speakeasy-themed business event at Liverpool’s historic apartment complex, The Albany, has been hailed a success.

Guests from more than 30 businesses attended the Old Hall Street building’s award-winning courtyard for an evening of 1920s-style networking with cocktails and canapés and the music of Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald.

City Residential staff were on hand to provide tours of the furnished show apartments at The Albany, which boasts a large community of private owners.

A speech from the estate agency’s sales consultant, Frances Lyons, rounded off the evening, offering an insight into the property

and initiatives including the Rent Refund scheme which is on offer for potential buyers.

Through the scheme, which is available on a number of units, up to six months paid rent can be reinvested into the purchase of an apartment and potentially help fund the deposit.

Frances Lyons says: “We are proud to be able to say that the majority of sales enquiries at The Albany are from people looking to reside here themselves. The Albany provides a fantastic base for city centre living, delivering modern conveniences within a building steeped in history and heritage.”

For more information call the City Residential sales team on 0151 231 6100.

he Auction People and commercial partner Pugh and Company are celebrating after £1.26 million worth of residential property in the city was auctioned off in a single day.

Many of the lots sold for above their auction value at Aintree Racecourse, according to Kate Lay, head of residential at The Auction People.

She says: “It was another great event in Liverpool this month for residential property. We sold all but one of the lots available and have had a considerable amount of interest in that property following the auction.

HOT PROPERTY NEWS IN LIVERPOOL

‘FANTASTIC’ RESPONSE TO FREE ECO UPGRADES Private landlords across the area have been taking advantage of a free scheme to make their properties more energy efficient.

Green Deal Manager, part of the Armistead Group, has been providing upgrades to windows, doors and insulation as part of the government’s ECO (Energy Companies Obligation) initiative over the past two months and says it has had a “fantastic” response so far.

Graham Jack, technical director at Green Deal Manager, says: “We’ve had a fantastic response from private landlords in the North West who are extremely keen to take up free upgrades to their properties, and we’re now inviting other landlords to follow suit.”

The firm is working with npower and another provider of funds to carry out the scheme, and has an experienced team who can guide property owners through the process from beginning to end.

Sutton Kersh auctioneer Andrew Binstock

N

early £5 million worth of Liverpool property has been sold at auction in the fourth Sutton Kersh event of the year at the Marriott Hotel in the city centre.

In total 71 of the 95 properties on offer were sold on the day with 25 of those sold before the auction had begun. When it did start the first property, a threebedroom detached property on Green Lane North, sold for £157,000 – £50,000 more than its expected value.

The team

Cathy Holt, auction manageress at Sutton Kersh, says: “Pre auction activity was exceptionally high with a quarter of the catalogue being sold prior and the viewing diary very busy. The room also attracted a good crowd. I am confident that we will secure a number of deals post auction with some properties falling just short of reaching their reserve price.”

The sales pushed the estate agent’s revenues up to £24 million from four auctions in 2013 as confidence returns to the Liverpool market from

buyers and those who wish to invest in a property.

Cathy added: “We are delighted with our results from the first half of the year.

The market has definitely returned and investors now appear to be growing their portfolios again.”

The next auction will take place on 4 September and instructions are being invited up to 6 August.

Sutton Kersh plans to hold an additional two auctions in Liverpool before the end of the year.

New Tile Fire range to mark first anniversary

A

Liverpool company specialising in creating photo mosaics out of tiles is celebrating a year of success by launching an eye-catching new range.

Tile Fire, on Roscoe Lane, creates tile mosaics by placing digital prints onto the tiles by hand and 62 Your Move

firing them in a kiln at 800˚C to ‘melt’ the image to the tile.

To celebrate 12 months in business the company is now planning a new range including ‘HD’ designedtiles that accurately replicate granite or stone to be used in kitchens and bathrooms. The new range will arrive sometime in September.

Director Andrew Cousins says: “The tiles have been really popular with people all over the country. We do a lot of smaller mosaics for bathrooms, but we also do full bathrooms, flooring and tiling inside and outside the house.”

Popular designs include waterfalls and palm treeladen beaches for

bathrooms and flowerthemed mosaics for kitchens, while restaurants tend to opt for patterned floors.

The company was even asked to travel to Greece to complete a mural on the exterior of an expat’s home, says Andrew.

NORTHWOOD ACHIEVES QUICK SALE Go Direct Lettings has branched out to the south of Liverpool, opening its first high street premises in the city.

The residential lettings business already had five outlets across the Wirral including a head office in Birkenhead, and has now recently opened up a branch on Allerton Road in Woolton.

The office is being looked after by the

franchise owner Cliff Horton, who already has experience in running a successful home repair service for landlord properties in Liverpool.

He says Go Direct had been keen to have a base in the south of the city, and the new site offers “all the usual property management services” in the area for landlords and tenants.

The now sold Mossley Hill property

orthwood says its ‘proactive’ approach to selling homes helped achieve a quick sale on a property which had already spent a long time on the market.

The spacious two-bedroom mid-terrace home, located in the Mossley Hill area of Liverpool was said to have initially been put on the market back in March 2012. After not managing to sell the home, which was being occupied by tenants in the hope it would bring a quicker sale, the vendor then turned to Northwood to see if it could be of help and the house was sold in a matter of just a few months.

Cheryle Wileman, sales negotiator at Northwood, says: “We were very proactive in finding buyers for the property. We were very tenacious in getting people to view it and we were giving the vendor advice.”

Soon after Northwood had taken it on, the property was sold as part of the agency’s £500 deal. Through the deal, the vendors would have received £500 cash back if the property hadn’t sold within a certain amount of time.

Nearly half of Mill Brook homes sold Lovell’s Mill Brook development is proving to be a hit with homebuyers, as almost half of the properties have now been sold.

The firm joined forces with The Riverside Group for the Compendium Living development in Netherley, which has good commuter links to Liverpool city centre, St Helens and Manchester.

Mill Brook’s collection of two, three and four-bedroom family homes are said to have been a hit thanks to their mix of style, quality and value, and fields sales manager Anne-Marie O’Doherty says: “We know exactly what homebuyers are looking for in a new home and we have tailored our offering to suit their needs perfectly. From contemporary design features and inspirational interior options, to a superior specification with exacting attention paid to the individual details, we have plenty of style and quality on show at Mill Brook. But

what really makes these homes stand out is the exceptional value for money they offer.”

Prices start at £104,995 for a twobedroom home, with Help to Buy also available.

GUIDE TO...

WORDS

RAISE A LARGE DEPOSIT The best way to finance a new home is to already have a large deposit. This is easier said than done for second-steppers who have already

BY

STEPHEN

HURRELL

paid a deposit as a first-time buyer and can be the main reason second-steppers become stuck on the bottom rung of the property ladder.

Once extra charges such as stamp duty and

solicitor’s fees are taken into account that deposit may be smaller than expected and other forms of finance will need to be considered – so now is the time to get saving for that next step.

ASK MORTGAGE LENDERS Before you rule out the possibility of being able to afford a larger home speak to your mortgage lender. You may be surprised at what they are willing to lend, particularly if you have a reliable payment record for your first house.

The Bank of England's Funding for Lending scheme means lending should continue to improve until the scheme ends in 2015. This means second-steppers will see better mortgage deals are being offered and it should increase the number of first time buyers willing to buy your home and help you to move on from your first house.

USE THE HELP TO BUY SCHEME If an affordable mortgage is still eluding you the government’s Help to Buy scheme could help. The Help to Buy scheme, originally intended for first-time buyers but extended to second-steppers if they are buying a new build, allows those with lower savings or those in negative equity to apply for a 75% mortgage by offering a government loan for 20% of the value of the mortgage as long as you can stump up just 5% as a deposit.

GET A HELPING HAND Those who want to rely on the bank of mum and dad can choose a specialist scheme offered by Lloyds TSB. The Lend a Hand mortgage requires only a 5% deposit from the buyer and another 20% taken from the savings of a ‘helper’, which usually means parents or family. The helper will still earn interest of 2.7% AER on their savings for three years and you will be able to get mortgage rates based on a 25% deposit.

I N T E R V I E W

INTERVIEW BY SOPHIE MCGUCKIN

How did you get into writing? My father was a writer and it was something I’d always wanted to do. Then I did a Masters in creative writing and started to write.

How many stories have you got in mind for your series, will there be many others?

Yes, I’m just finishing one now, it’s called Casino Princess. It’s a sequel to Crossing Borders and it’s about casinos and the casino world in Northern Cyprus.

Is the lead character in your novels, Os Zahir, based on anyone you know? No, Os is totally made up.

Many crime novels are made into TV programmes. How would you feel if you were asked to turn your books into a TV series? The same as any other writer – wonderful! People then obviously want to read the books if they’ve seen it on TV as well, so they help each other.

Why did you choose Cyprus to be the setting place of your series? It’s Northern Cyprus, which is important to point out because they’re two different countries. When people say Cyprus they mean the Greek side and I write about Northern Cyprus which is the Turkish side. They’re very, very different, they’re two different countries. It’s a place I know very, very well, I’ve been lots of times. It’s a beautiful country and is very political so it’s ideal for crime writing really.

Has the story been successful in Northern Cyprus or any other countries?

Yes, they sell quite a lot in Northern Cyprus.

Some people like it, some people don’t, because of course it’s not always flattering. I haven’t

W I T H

W R I T E R

C H R I S T I N E

written it to flatter but it has done well in Northern Cyprus.

During research, I found that you were poorly whilst writing the series. Did that have an impact on how you progressed?

Yes, it’s much harder to write when you’re seriously ill. You obviously make more of an effort but sometimes you don’t write at all. It does put a bit of normality into your life if you know you have to keep writing as it’s very easy when you have a serious illness not to do anything at all.

A review of your first book described it as ‘a crime thriller with an edgy difference.’

What makes your series different to other crime stories? I think it’s the political aspect of it. With Northern Cyprus, because it’s not recognised by the rest of the world, the only country that does recognise it is Turkey. It’s unique in its situation that it’s the only politically divided island in the world now.

Because it’s isolated, totally isolated, and they’re not allowed to trade with anybody but Turkey it means that it makes more interesting writing.

How did you go about finding a publisher and why did you choose an American publisher? I googled crime writing and googled the American publisher to find out more and then they took it on very quickly.

Publishers are often interested in a particular genre. Not everyone’s interested in crime writers, not everyone’s interested in historical novels, and this particular American company was interested in crime writers.

You look to deal with issues that confront the country in your story. How do you aim to do this? Well I get the local paper sent to me every week from Northern Cyprus, so I’m very up on what is happening and I like to give a bit of realism to the novels. For instance, my book Crossing Borders is about human smuggling and that has taken place in the areas I’ve described. I didn’t get the idea from

A N D A I N

newspapers - I’d already come up with the idea but it was actually happening a bit later on.

With my latest book, which is about casinos and the problems of casinos, bits about those come up in newspapers so I keep up to date with what’s actually happening in the country and thread it into my novels.

What target audience did you have in mind for your series and has it turned out that way? I think it’s for anyone who likes crime really but it’s gentle crime. I don’t give gory details about murders or pathology work, so it’s quite gentle crime which is more suitable for everyone.

Christine Andain’s books ‘Crossing Borders’ and ‘Book of Silence’ are available in book stores and on Amazon.

OUT & ABOUT IN LIVERPOOL

dinner for four at 60 Hope Street The city’s 60 Hope Street restaurant has enjoyed a busy summer so far, thanks to the usual eclectic mix of events.

Graduation bookings dominated July, along with craft beer and pub grub events plus guest speakers.

The popular family-owned and run restaurant’s regular ‘Self-Serve Smorgasbord’ food and cocktail evenings every Friday have also been a hit, while occasion venue bookings and the outdoor catering business have helped to continue the success too. The profile of the eatery, set in the heart of Liverpool’s Georgian area has been boosted further by the popularity of

A new Liverpool business is planning on becoming a global hit by selling greetings cards adorned with some of the city’s most famous slang words and phrases.

Cards4Scousers has launched a website featuring cards with a distinctly Liverpudlian flavour include Scouse sayings and iconic imagery such as the famous waterfront and the

Saturday brunch, daily Afternoon Tea and Sunday Roasts.

To celebrate, we’ve teamed up with 60 Hope Street to give away a marvellous mouth-watering prize.

One lucky Your Move reader will win dinner for four on a set menu along with fizz on arrival and wine.

To be in with the chance of winning, simply tell us something you’ve been celebrating this summer.

Please send your answer, along with your name, address and a daytime telephone number to post@movepublishing.co.uk.

The deadline for entries is Friday 9 August.

Superlambanana.

The company recently invited several businesses from the city to celebrate its launch at bar and nightclub Maya.

Cards4Scousers director Gary Carney now believes the cards will be a big hit not just with local people but further afield.

“Even with limited publicity we’ve been very surprised by the people ordering from the site,” he says. “The website was only completed eight weeks ago but we’ve had orders from Australia and America and there has been great feedback on Twitter and Facebook.”

Cards cover all occasions and Gary says the company will support Liverpool business as much as possible by using a local web design company and printer to create the cards. Local design schools and colleges have also been asked to submit their own designs for the website.

Kevin Satchell

L

iverpool boxer Kevin Satchell needs just one more title victory before he can start setting his sights on the European title.

The rising star of the ring says he has been celebrating ever since he defended his position as British flyweight champion last month, during a gruelling match against Ian Butcher at the city’s Echo Arena.

Reflecting on his last fight Kevin, who is sponsored by Paul Crowley & Co. Solicitors, says: “I was relieved and made up to win because I got put down. It was a hard fight for me so it was good of me to get up from that.”

The talented boxer has since enjoyed a holiday and a well-earned rest following the tough 10 weeks of training which it took to prepare for the competition.

Kevin has dampened ongoing speculation over who his next opponent will be, insisting that his next fight is not yet in the pipeline, and adds: “I’ve got one more defence to make for my British title and I’ll have won it outright. Then I’ll be looking to win the European title.”

Best for...

The summer holidays are now in full swing and with events and activities taking place across the area, all that’s left to decide is where to take the children to eat. That’s why we’ve come up with three child-friendly choices that’ll keep them entertained and satisfy their appetites at the same time.

LITTLE CHEFS Gusto, Albert Dock Culinary wizards in the making can show off their talents by preparing their own pizzas. With a chef ’s hat thrown in, little ones will look the part as they arrange their own toppings before their creation goes in the oven. Diners will also be perfectly placed to explore some of the city’s museums and attractions before and after.

AMERICAN ADVENTURE Hickory’s Smokehouse, West Kirby This authentic American barbecue not only serves up big portions of food but is also big on fun.

With its children’s cinema room as well as an outdoor area providing youngsters with their own bar and a school-style play area, this eatery is ideal for parties or simply dinner with the family.

HEARTY BUT HEALTHY Jamie’s Italian, Liverpool ONE Eating out with the children doesn’t have to mean straying from healthy foods. The kids’ menu offers fun twists on fresh and wholesome food, such as ‘Chicken Lollipops’ and ‘Happy Fish Fingers’. Sustainable fish, organic meats and free-range poultry are used along with fresh fruit and vegetables, and meals are served with salads and fruit juice.

Mann Island, Liverpool L3 1BP With the sun glistening on the waters of the docks we were faced with an array of choices before even opening the menu. Sit inside in the dimly lit air-conditioned area or bask in the sunshine on the outdoor terrace. My dining partner and I decided to enjoy the sun while it lasted so we were seated at a retro dining table outside.

Located opposite the Museum of Liverpool and just a stone’s throw away from the Liver Building and Albert Dock, the Brasco Lounge occupies a great space with excellent views.

With its quirky decor consisting of vintage mirrors, ornate lampshades and eccentric photographs which wouldn't look out of place in my great grandma’s house - the interior of the restaurant provided a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Staying loyal to location, the restaurant proudly displays a liver bird shield behind the bar, which was salvaged from the Liver Building when a wall was demolished. It’s a genuine piece of Liverpudlian heritage which gives the bar a real historic feel.

The friendly environment is inviting and appealing for everyone, and with a variety of games, books and kids’ meals it’s perfect for children too.

The menu is available all day, offering a wide variety of international dishes including a brunch menu, selections of burgers and tapas, and monthly specials.

It was also a pleasant surprise to see there are vegan and gluten-free menus.

First came the tapas dish for starters, hummus with a selection of ciabattas and oils (£3.25). I love hummus and was interested in tasting the olive oil and smoked paprika twist. The rustic presentation tied in wonderfully with the lounge’s décor and the flavour mixtures were balanced perfectly.

Next came the main course, the presentation of both meals was good but the food itself was delicious. I opted for the Hero Hamburger (£8.95), a 6oz hamburger with chorizo, cheddar, red onion and chipotle mayonnaise, served with marinated chilli and fries. My dinner

REVIEW BY SOPHIE MCGUCKIN

partner chose The Smokehouse Dog (£7.95), a pork frank with pulled pork in a smoked BBQ sauce, cheddar, and sour cream, served in a farmhouse hot dog bun with fries.

“Those are the best meals on the menu, I love both!”

The waitress told us as she served our meals.

We were impressed that both meals were equally as tasty, bursting with flavour, and neither disappointed.

Feeling well fed we just managed a dessert. I had sticky toffee pudding (£4.35), with butterscotch sauce and ice cream. My partner chose cherry pie (£5.50), with ice cream.

The desserts were presented nicely and both were served warm which went down a treat with the ice creams.

I’d never heard of the Brasco Lounge before I visited as it’s tucked away, but it’s a hidden gem and I can’t fault it.

Whether you’re looking for a good breakfast to start the day or a light cocktail with friends in the evening, the Brasco Lounge is perfect.

STREETLIFE

hiver me timbers! Albert Dock played host to a weekend of swashbuckling and skullduggery as the Liverpool Pirate Festival returned to the city.

Visitors of all ages donned their best pirate outfits and headed down to the dock for a weekend of treasure trails and pirate music and shanties.

Vessels sailed into the dock and wowed the crowds with live action cannon battles, while 18th Century encampments were set up to give an insight into how people lived during those times.

Captain Jack Sparrow and birds of prey were also on hand to join in the festivities at the two-day event.

It was just the latest in a line of free festivals and activities to take place down at Liverpool’s waterfront this summer.
