Mersey Ferries’ social media competition gives three families a summer full of fun
The North West winners have each received a golden ticket for a range of popular family attractions around Liverpool and Wirral
Three lucky North West families have each won a golden ticket allowing them free access to some of the city’s most-loved activities, including trips on the famous Mersey Ferries, one of Liverpool’s most popular paid-for visitor attractions.
Presented with their prize by Liverpool’s Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram, on the Mersey Ferry, ChildChikl t, her husband Nuno and their two children – Sophia, 6 and Isabel, 4 from New Brighton, Melissa Devlin and her children from Birkenhead and finally, grandmother Sue Scregg from Wallasey who is planning on enjoying her prize with her two grandchildren, Cody, 5 and April, aged 4.
This summer, the golden ticket winners will have the opportunity to travel across the River Mersey and visit Spaceport and its popular Sci-Fi Icons exhibitions. They will also enjoy a family Day Tripper experience, which includes entry to The Beatles Story, plus the ‘Do The Treble’ ticket, which covers the City Explorer Open Top Bus Tour, a Liverpool Cathedral Tower Tour and a River Explorer Cruise.
The River Explorer Cruise takes just under one hour, is one of Liverpool’s most iconic days out and a ‘must-do’ experience for families looking for a fun-filled day out this summer break.
Gary Evans from Mersey Ferries said: “We’d like to say a huge congratulations to our winners who will now get to enjoy an action-packed summer enjoying many of the city’s top attractions.
“The Mersey Ferries and Beatles Story teams are delighted to able to provide these prizes and take some pressure off parents and grandparents, who we know spend endless hours thinking about childcare and entertaining days in preparation for the six weeks off.”
Liverpool’s Metro Mayor, Steve Rotheram added: “It’s been wonderful to see the families today and talk to the children about their summer plans. They are all looking forward to exploring parts of the city region which many have never visited before.
“Hopefully the three winning families won’t hear the dreaded words – “I’m bored” – at all this summer!”
Melissa Devlin, mum to Tom, 10, Charlie, 8, and Gracie, 4 added: “We’re so happy to be chosen as one of the lucky families awarded a golden ticket this summer, and we’re really looking forward to hopping on the first ferry we can!
“It’s nice to know that we can enjoy some amazing experiences as a family, enjoying the city and attractions on our doorstep many of us often take for granted. I’d really like to thank the Mersey Ferries team for running this fantastic competition and for giving me and my family the chance to create memories this summer which I’m sure will last a lifetime.”
The competition, which ran for a week on the Mersey Ferries Facebook page, generated hundreds of entrants and comments from families keen to explore more of Liverpool across the school holidays.
