Liverpool is home to the oldest Chinese Community in Europe and in 2021 we celebrated the Spring Festival which is widely known as Chinese New Year online. 

Chinese students who participated in work placements at the Everyman & Playhouse theatres in 2021 created some videos for you to explore Chinese New Year and Chinese culture. 

The films below are online sessions and demonstrations which enable you to get involved in your own time.
