Liverpool City Council is inviting residents, creatives, organisations, and cultural partners to take part in the public consultation for its new draft Cultural Strategy 2025–2030, Culture Makes Liverpool.
The strategy sets out the council’s collective vision for how culture can continue to shape, inspire, and strengthen Liverpool over the next five years. It builds on the foundation of the 2020 strategy, reflecting the lessons learned during the pandemic and responding to the city’s changing social, economic, and environmental landscape.
The strategy outlines four key priorities:
- Culture strengthening our communities
- Culture celebrating our place
- Culture supporting our people
- Culture growing our economy
It is also underpinned by three core principles: collaboration & resilience, equality & inclusivity, and environmental sustainability.
The council is particularly keen to hear from underrepresented voices and communities who want to help shape a more inclusive cultural future for Liverpool.

Liverpool City Council’s Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Culture, Councillor Harry Doyle, said:
“This Cultural Strategy is a rallying cry for everyone who makes and loves culture in our city. For cultural leaders it is a statement of ambition. For funders, it is a clear summary of priorities. It details the positive impact culture and creativity have on education, skills, health, wellbeing, tourism, innovation, and the wider economy
“This strategy is for those who value and champion culture’s ability to make a difference as part of public health, community cohesion and education interventions. We will continue to use culture to give a voice to those who need it.”
Claire McColgan CBE, Director, Culture Liverpool, said:
“Culture makes Liverpool, Liverpool. It’s the thing that can turn your life around. It’s the thing that makes us human, and it’s Liverpool’s global calling card
“Culture has been the backbone of the regeneration of our city. Liverpool’s visitor economy, our ability to attract and retain students, our international brand, and our growing creative industries stem from the cultural joys within our city.”
