Lion dance performance: Chinese New Year

Did you know that Liverpool's Chinatown is the oldest in Europe? And the 3.5 meter tall Chinese Arch, imported from Shanghai, is the tallest outside mainland China!

We are inviting all our visitors to celebrate Liverpool's Chinese heritage with Hung Gar Kung Fu School as they return to the museum to perform the fabulous Lion dance for the Year of the Snake.

The lion symbolizes power, wisdom, and superiority. The lion dance is performed to bring good fortune for the coming year and chase away evil spirits.

Performances take place in the museum atrium at 1, 2 and 3pm and are free for all to enjoy.
