What is happening on Monday 26 May?
Liverpool City Council has invited Liverpool Football Club’s men’s team to parade their Premier League silverware around the city.
Parade Route
The route begins at Allerton Maze - onto Queen’s Drive – Millbank - West Derby Road - Erskine Street – Islington - Hunter Street - Leeds Street - The Strand – ending at the junction of the Strand and Blundell Street.
There is no further activity planned at the waterfront on completion of the route.
When does it start and how long will it last for?
It is expected the 15km-long parade will last anywhere between 3 to 5 hours, but this is subject to change.
Are there road closures?
The Strand will be closed northbound from the Upper Parliament Street/Great George Street junction to Leeds Street/Great Howard Street junction from 04.00 – 22.00, or until it is safe to re-open. The southbound lane will be closed from approx. 12.00 – 20.00, again subject to crowd safety requirements.
Additionally, Leeds Street City bound will be closed from 12.00 until approx. 20.00.
Transport
• Public transport will be much busier than usual so please discuss travel arrangements and any potential impacts of the parade route with your employees who are scheduled to work that day.
• We encourage the use of public transport, taxis and active travel such as walking and cycling.
• Visit www.merseytravel.gov.uk to check latest travel arrangements.
• We strongly advise against bringing vehicles into the city centre on Monday 26th May as vehicle movements in and out of the city centre will be significantly impacted. If bringing a vehicle into the city centre is unavoidable, then give yourself plenty of time and expect severe delays in being able to access/egress.

Access to ACC Liverpool will be via Upper Parliament Street, St James Street, or Jamaica Street, Blundell Street then crossing Wapping into Queens Wharf. There will be a signed diversion from Upper Parliament Street. Vehicles exiting the campus should follow the same route out.

Vehicles exiting the Royal Albert Dock should follow the same route back.
Please note it will not be possible to turn left or right when crossing over the Strand nor will it be possible to exit via Gower Street.
Access to Mariners Wharf and Sefton Street
Due to the large crowds anticipated, we would suggest Sefton Street and Mariners’ Wharf is accessed from the South i.e. Jericho Lane, Riverside Drive, Sefton Street and the reverse for egress.
Access will be possible from the usual diversion from Parliament Street, Grafton Street, Stanhope Street, Sefton Street, Mariners Wharf but this will no doubt get extremely busy in the build-up to the Parade with the Strand being closed so access/egress cannot be guaranteed.
Access to Pier Head
Access to Princes Parade will be via Scotland Road (A59) to Boundary Street, Regent Road, Waterloo Road, Princes Parade, St Nicholas Place and Canada Boulevard. Exit will be the reverse.
