Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lowry Lounge 2025
Since 2009, the Bluecoat has celebrated the life and work of Malcolm Lowry (1909-57), the Wirral-born author of the classic modernist novel Under the Volcano, through exhibitions, performances, commissions, publications, walks, talks and other activities.
This year's annual celebration on will focus on the Lowry's early years. A presentation at the Bluecoat by Helen Tookey and Bryan Biggs will include rarely seen photographs from Lowry's childhood home in Caldy and summer holidays. This is followed by a coach and walking tour of the Wirral. We will visit Caldy, West Kirby and his birthplace, New Brighton where a blue plaque on the promenade commemorates the writer. The afternoon will also take in other Lowry haunts and places that appear in his acclaimed novel Under the Volcano (1947) and other writing.
Please Note:
Lunch is not provided but there will be opportunities to eat on the way, so please bring a picnic. There will be some walking including on a beach, so please wear sensible footwear and sustainable rainproof clothing. If you have any accessibility concerns, please email us.
