✨ WHY WOULD YOU STAY AT THE LOCK & QUAY?

Every year, local groups & our lovely Bootle community join us for two of Bootle's most unique cultural events:

🐉 Canal of Light – an illuminated flotilla of creativity, colour and community spirit lighting up the waterway. Working closely with local groups!

🔥 Big Bang! Return of the King – our spectacular Viking fire festival, bringing Norse legends, live performance, fire, music and unforgettable moments to the heart of Bootle.
(Big Bang 2026 tickets go on sale this September - we'll do a countdown!!)

These aren't events you'll find anywhere else!

Community-led.
Family-friendly.
Right on our doorstep.

So if you're planning to visit Liverpool, why not stay somewhere that offers more than just a bed for the night?

🏡 Stay at the Lock & Quay.
🎭 Experience Bootle's culture.
❤️ Be part of something special.

To secure the pub’s future, we are delivering a £1 million refurbishment project, which will create guest accommodation above the pub and a new kitchen for food, helping make the venue more sustainable while continuing to grow Bootle as the destination the community has worked hard to create.

As all of you regulars will have been able to see - work has started! But we need YOUR help to raise an extra £30,000 for fixtures and fittings!
https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/jyVR71Yy?utm_campaign=sharemodal&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=shortlink

Every donation - big or small - helps protect a place that belongs to the community and everything it delivers for Bootle.

Help us keep the doors open for the next 10 years and beyond.
