Where to spend your day

Coffi

Rise.
Castle st.
The best brunch and matcha in the city - and TikTok would definitely agree.

Best of wellness

Wyld Sauna

The first floating sauna in the UK - sweat it out in the sauna, then cool off with a refreshing plunge into the dock.

From yoga classes in the Palm House surrounded by tropical plants to running or walking the full 200 acres, it’s one of Liverpool’s best outdoor spaces.

Run Clubs
