Street party brings feast of entertainment

Smithdown Road was buzzing with live entertainment, food and festivities as a three-day street party took place over the bank holiday weekend.

Bars, cafes and restaurants along the street came together to host a top line-up of musical acts including Edgar Jones, Space frontman Tommy Scott and Stephen Langstaff to name a few, as well as a Liverpool Comedy Festival takeover during the free inaugural event.

Meanwhile, an outdoor market was also among the attractions to draw in the crowds during the festivities, which were organised by Evil Eye, Kelly’s Dispensary, The Willowbank and Franks Bar, and sponsored by the Wavertree Association of Student Homes.

Visitors were also treated to food and drink discounts in return for making food bank donations, as ‘Food Bank Holiday Monday’ built on the success of Evil Eye’s previous attempts to collect £5 bags of food in return for selling burritos at the lower price of £1.
