Experience the Biennial on a Liverpool ferry break

Contemporary art enthusiasts living in Ireland will be taking ferries to Liverpool later this year to be part of a major festival taking place in the city.

The Liverpool Biennial will begin on September 18th and run until November 28th.

It is thought to be the largest contemporary visual arts event in the UK, with some 960,000 people visiting in 2008.

The northern city is connected to Ireland by P&O Irish Sea, which operates ferries from Liverpool to Dublin, while Norfolkline provides ferries from Liverpool to Belfast.

One of the highlights of the Biennial programme this year is Touched, a major international exhibition which will consist of new artworks being displayed at various venues around the city.

Tate Liverpool will be among the attractions taking part and will present a number of interactive pieces that can be physically touched by the viewer.

Several other projects will be presented during the Liverpool Biennial, including Antony Gormley's Another Place, which will see 100 cast-iron sculptures installed on Crosby Beach on the Mersey estuary facing the open sea.

People based on the Isle of Man can catch ferries to Liverpool from Douglas with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company.
