Your Hatters Hostel

Its on in 11 different cities including MANCHESTER and LIVERPOOL. These tunes will go to the root of your soul!! It’s different it’s more like listening to art than a band. http://www.musicbeyondmainstream.org.uk/

The snow is falling and the city looks gorgeous in white and if you are lucky enough you might be spending some quality Hatters time with us over Christmas if the snow falls continue. Liverpool Hatters hostel will be the cosiest place in the whole country and we might even have a snow sculpture made especially for you…maybe.

Liverpool city centre has been invaded by an army of penguins this winter, as a finale to the cities celebrations for the “year of the environment”. Following on from last year’s Lambanana spectacular, the penguins have been designed and decorated by local schoolchildren, artists and celebrities alike, and are proving to be a winner with tourists looking for a unique and exciting way to explore the city, as well as educating local children of the perils of climate change. As with the Lambananas, the penguins are featured as part of a wintry trail around the cultural hotspots, retail areas and famous streets of Liverpool. Trail maps are available at the Hatters Liverpool reception desk.
