Desktop Pub Event

Desktop pub is an exciting new project that will document the traditions of some of the most historic pubs in Liverpool. We aim to involve the regulars and locals, in bringing the past alive through photo archives, oral histories and presentations in pubs around the city.

The project is being run by the Innovations Factory's Dingle online Centre and The Everton development trust.

The most recent Desktop Pub event was held on Thursday April 28th at the Pineapple Hotel Park Road. Guests and regulars enjoyed a presentation and a buffet was provided afterward.
