On Sunday July 10th, the Albert Dock will be celebrating all things Fab Four as it is plays host to the 2011 Beatles Day delivered by CMP Entertainment. Currently in its fourth year, Beatles Day is the annual celebration of Liverpool’s favourite sons, their music and the city of Liverpool, which has become a favourite amongst Beatles fans of all ages.

The businesses at the Albert Dock have teamed up with the Day’s organisers CMP, to programme a day of Beatlemania that all the family will enjoy. Beatles inspired bands will be performing throughout the day across the Dock bringing music to every corner.

Taking you on the ‘long and winding road’ around the Dock and inside its many venues will be a specially created Beatles themed treasure hunt, with clue sheets available from www.albertdock.com and the Albert Dock Visitor Information Centre on the day. And make sure you head down dressed to impress in your 60’s finest; there will be a fancy dress competition judged at 3pm in Anchor Courtyard with prizes available for the best dressed 60’s costume.

Don’t forget to purchase one of the International Beatles Day wigs, which will be on sale at the Beatles Story and at venues across the Dock.

Jeremy Roberts, Chairman of the Albert Dock Business Tenants Association said: “Beatles Day is a fantastic celebration of the Fab Four and we are thrilled to host this year’s event at the Albert Dock. The day is going to be action packed with music and entertainment, with all of the Dock businesses getting into the spirit with special offers and prize giveaways. We have been working very closely with the organisers to make this year’s Beatles Day the best ever, and we are really looking forward to welcoming people from far and wide to join us.”

Chas Cole, CMP Entertainment said: “Beatles Day has gone from strength to strength and we are delighted to call the Albert Dock home in our 4th year.

"The Day is a celebration of all things Liverpool; the music and fashion that cemented the Beatles into the history books to the humour, energy and vibrancy makes Liverpool such an amazing place to be.

"We hope that young and old will come down to the Dock to join in all the fun for International Beatles Day 2011.”
