About us
Liverpool Humanists brings non-religious people together to live happier and more fulfilled lives and to be a force for good in our community.
Humanists are people who shape their own lives in the here and now, because we believe this is the only life we have. We make sense of the world through logic, reason, and evidence, and always seek to treat those around us with warmth, understanding, care, respect and responsibility.
We organise events and activities of interest, with the aim of encouraging better understanding of humanism, and cultivating a network of support for fellow humanists. We offer a safe space in which to talk and share experiences - whether people have moved away from their religious faith or never had any in the first place.
We are a diverse group, and we have new members regularly joining - so do come along and get involved!
- We have a New Website.
- Like and Follow our public Facebook Page.
- Join our private Facebook group for discussion and support.
- Follow us on X-Twitter.
- You can now also follow us on Bluesky.

Walk, Talk and Fork: Sefton Park & Keith's Lark Lane
Keith's, 107 Lark Ln, Liverpool L17 8UR, UK, Liverpool, GBJoin Liverpool Humanists for a relaxed and sociable get-together combining a gentle walk, good conversation and lunch together.
We’ll meet at 11:00 am by the Boathouse Kiosk in Sefton Park, then enjoy an easy stroll through the park, chatting about life, ideas, philosophy, humanism, or whatever else comes up along the way.
After our walk, we’ll head to Keith’s on Lark Lane, where we have reserved tables for lunch, drinks and more conversation. The idea is simple: get outdoors, meet new people, share some food and enjoy good company.Weather permitting, we’ll start with the walk through Sefton Park. If the weather isn’t suitable, we’ll go straight to Keith’s instead, so the conversation and company can still go ahead.
Whether you’re a humanist, humanist-friendly, curious about humanism, or even a little sceptical, you’ll be very welcome. You don’t need to know anything about humanism beforehand. Just bring yourself, an open mind and an appetite for good conversation.
There’s no formal talk or lecture to sit through. We’ll keep the conversation going throughout the walk and lunch, sharing thoughts, experiences and ideas in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Walk a little, talk a lot, and enjoy a good forkful along the way.
We hope you’ll join us!WhatsApp Group: Liverpool Humanists

Sunday Chess
92 Degrees Coffee, 49 Jamaica St, Liverpool L1 0AH, UK, Liverpool, GBCome along for a relaxed and friendly game of chess
Whether you're a complete beginner, haven't played for years, or you're a strong player looking for a good game, everyone is welcome. There’s no pressure to be competitive. The idea is to meet people, play some chess, learn from each other and enjoy some time together in a safe and friendly environment.
We have chess boards available, so you don’t need to bring anything. You can simply turn up, find someone to play and enjoy a few games at your own pace.
If you have your own chess set, feel free to bring it along too. And if you have another board game you enjoy, you’re welcome to bring that as well. If other people are interested, we can have a game together.
The event is open to all ages. For anyone under 18, a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult should be present.
Come along, grab a board, and let's play!
