ROYAL Albert Dock Liverpool is continuing its programme of feel-good activities throughout August with its Festival of Summer.

They will be combining pantomime-inspired productions of Punch and Judy, with short screenings in the world’s smallest movie theatre and a great bank holiday lineup.

Taking place in the grand hall, next door to Peaberry Coffee House and Kitchen on the inner quay, enjoy the Punch and Judy shows on August 4, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 25, 26, 27 and 28 August with showtimes at 11.45am, 1pm, 2.15pm and 3.30pm - all free of charge. 

Performing the series of shows is the vibrant puppeteer and chairman of the Punch and Judy Fellowship, Will Cousins. He brings a "fresh approach to storytelling and transports audiences to a world of whimsy and laughter".

Fresh from Glastonbury, Sol Cinema is returning to Anchor Courtyard. Powered by the sun, the vintage-style cinema is set to screen free five-minute films perfect for the whole family on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 August from 11am to 3pm. Crowned as one of the top 20 picturehouses in the world and complete with an usherette service, viewers can sit back, relax and tuck into a tub of complimentary popcorn.

Little explorers can take to the seven seas at Maritime Museum and learn about the city’s past with Life on Board. Visitors can also capture the day’s memories at two giant deckchair selfie spots, located in Britannia Courtyard and on Hartley Quay, positioned against a view of the dock.
