Due to expected demonstrations in and around Pierhead this weekend, the lovely Liverpool Arts Fair, which we have visited many times, has informed me they have had to close two days early, so they will miss two days of trading. It will be a sad loss to our cities cultural heritage especially as this only the second year of the show returning after Covid. Maureen
