Get information on summer events sent straight to your phone

The Liverpool ECHO has set up a WhatsApp community dedicated to sharing the latest event, food and drink news in Liverpool.

It was confirmed last week that Mathew Street Festival will return to Liverpool from Friday, August 23 to Monday, August 26 this summer. The Liverpool ECHO shared this information with members of its Things to do in Liverpool WhatsApp community as soon as it was announced.

Members of the WhatsApp community receive the latest details on events taking place across Liverpool - including everything taking place this summer. All you have to do is click this link, select 'Join Community' and you're in.

By joining the WhatsApp community, you will receive all the latest news on events, things to do, restaurants and bars across the city, and exclusive information direct to your phone before anywhere else.

No one will be able to see your details in the community and you will only receive messages from the Liverpool ECHO team because other people will be unable to message in the group. We will not spam your WhatsApp feed with constant messages, but you will receive updates from us daily.

If for some reason you decide you no longer want to be in our community, you can leave by clicking on the name at the top of your screen and clicking 'Exit Group'. You can read our Privacy Notice here.
