Prince Edward will attend a special tour of Bluecoat later this month to mark the arts centre’s 300th anniversary.
The Earl of Wessex will be given a tour of Liverpool city centre’s oldest building – meeting with staff, artists, tenants and members of the public.
The tour, which will culminate HRH unveiling a commemorative plaque to mark his visit, will take in the building’s unique architecture and the current contemporary art exhibition on display in the galleries.
Bryan Biggs, Bluecoat’s artistic director, says: “We are delighted that HRH has chosen to visit Bluecoat during his time in the North West.
“His visit is a reflection of the national significance of our artistic programme this year, as we celebrate the building’s 300th anniversary.
“Bluecoat has been at the centre of Liverpool’s cultural life for many years, so it seems especially appropriate for us to welcome the Earl of Wessex, a lifelong supporter of the arts, to the building this year.”
