Following Liverpool’s hosting of Eurovision 2023, Liverpool City Council and its partners commissioned a wide-ranging evaluation comprising a set of studies of the economic, cultural and wellbeing impacts of the event. The University of Liverpool and Heseltine Institute were commissioned to publish a synthesis of these different evaluation strands to enable the collective findings to reach a wider audience.
The evaluation revealed how those outside Liverpool viewed Eurovision 2023 and the city, assessed the potential value of such events, and aimed to understand what made the event a success and where we can learn in the future. This report is a summary of these evaluations, highlighting the short-term effects on Liverpool and the Liverpool City Region, and the long-term legacy of Eurovision.
