Key Information

Meeting Point

Liverpool Memory Walk will start and finish in the event site at Otterspool Promenade, on the field directly between the promenade and Otterspool Nature Reserve. Find us using postcode L17 5AL or enter ///owls.became.saying into the What3Words app.

Please note, for wheelchair and pushchair users, the best access to the field is via a paved ramp opposite the children's play area, which you can also find by entering ///loans.pads.minus into the What3Words app.
