The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 is now well underway in the Liverpool City Region and is expected to attract an estimated 100,000 visitors during the course of the event. And whilst we're still a bit gutted that Manchester won't be hosting this year's contest on behalf of Ukraine, we're buzzing it's going ahead nearby.
When is Eurovision 2023? Eurovision 2023 held its opening ceremony on Sunday, May 7. There will be 3 shows from May 9-13. If travelling from the South, it is advised to leave the M6 at junction 21A and take the M62 to Liverpool. At the end of the M62, you can then follow signs for Liverpool city centre along Edge Lane before following signs for Waterfront.
On the way back to Manchester, the first coach leaving Liverpool One bus station on Sunday morning is at 2.45am, arriving here at 4.15am. There will be other coaches leaving at 5.30am, 6.40am and 8.10am.
