Liverpool Zoe's Place to mark new chapter with music and celebration after being saved
Liverpool Zoe's Place will mark the start of a powerful new chapter with an evening of music and celebration.
The hospice was saved from closure in 2024 after the city banded together to raise more than £6 million.
Taking place at M&S Bank Arena on Thursday 17 July 2025, 'A Celebration of Zoe's Place' will bring together some of Merseyside's most iconic performers - including Ian McCulloch, The Zutons, Jamie Webster, Rebecca Ferguson, Lightning Seeds, The Real Thing and The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
Organisers say it is a landmark night of music, unity and gratitude for the city that saved the hospice.
Liverpool Zoe's Place provides specialist respite, palliative, and bereavement care for babies and young childrenwith life-limiting and complex conditions.
In 2024, facing potential closure, the city rallied behind a grassroots campaign to save the hospice.
Those involved say the concert is not only a thank you to the people of Liverpool and beyond who helped save the hospice - it will also mark the culmination of the 'Same Heart, Fresh Start' campaign, which invites the public to be a part of the charity's future.
The evening will include the official reveal of the hospice's new name and mascot, chosen from publicsubmissions from across the UK and will raise essential funds to support its move to a new, purpose-built homein West Derby.
A Night to Remember - led by the 66-piece Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the Sense of Sound Singers will perform a specially curated Merseyside songbook, with collaborations and reimagined classics from a lineup of artists.
Comedian Adam Rowe - an arena headliner himself - and presenter Leanne Campbell Power will host theevening, alongside special guests and recognisable Merseyside faces introducing performances and leadinginteractive fundraising event is designed to be a family-friendly, community-wide moment, with accessible pricing to ensureeveryone who supported Zoe's Place can be part of the celebration.
