Tickets for the inaugural Liverpool Boat Show have gone on sale.

The show is hoping to attract 400,000 visitors from Friday April 29 to Sunday May 8 to the Albert Dock area of the city.

Leading exhibitors, such as Bénéteau and Bavaria, have already signed up to the show, which will take place alongside a comedy, sea shanty and marine literary festival.

The show’s opening day will be a public holiday, as it clashes with the Royal wedding, and show organisers have promised that the nuptials will be screened on a big screen.

The show is open from 1030 to 2030 every day, apart from the final day when it will close at 1700.

Tickets are available from the show’s website – www.liverpoolboatshow.com or by calling 0844 809 4620.
