#MerseyMeetUp

Our 2nd #MerseyMeetUp, A photography get together for those of us who shoot film, all #believeinfilm 'ers welcome. Chat, walk and shoot film !

This magnificent 235 acre park is a Grade 1 historic park in the Sefton Park district of Liverpool. It is a Green Flag and Green Heritage awarded site with beautiful features and monuments. 

The Palm House where we will meet up is home to the Liverpool Botanical Collection and is itself a Grade II listed building.From 'Old Nick's caves' to the beautiful Fairy Glen and Aviary viewing point, there's plenty of exploring to do with lovely photo opportunities. There are a number of statues and monuments in the park to shoot, including the Grade II listed Shaftsbury Memorial, Eros Fountain and Peter Pan statue.

The bandstand, popular since the Victorian era, is said to be the inspiration for The Beatles' song Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is a great target for photographers, very colourful so Ektar / Velvia / Provia could be the order of the day !

If we have time, a visit to the local Georgian style streets may be arranged, but going on recent experience we may struggle to fit it all in !

Refreshments can be found at The Aviary Cafe as well at the Lakeside Cafe plus many pubs in the local area for a drink after the walk, its thirsty work all this photography! There are a number of parking points around the park and some on street parking, with trains to Mossley Hill and many buses to Aigburth Road.
