K006 - Delivery of Sporting Legends Relay

The award of Liverpool City Region Borough of Culture (BoC) was inspired by the UK City of Culture programme, which followed on from Liverpool's European Capital of Culture in 2008. It was introduced by Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority in 2018 to encourage and enable each Borough to deliver cultural programmes which create a legacy across the whole region.

The final programme of events for Knowsley's year as Borough of Culture is still being finalised. However, the overall theme for the year will be 'Storytelling' and it is hoped that there will be a large array of activities and events to interest all parts of the community. Importantly these will also be planned to cover many facets of 'culture' and what it means to local people - everything from music, to art, theatre, comedy, sport and much more.
