Tel: 01704 878591, www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-formby-2
Only ten miles from the city centre, you can stroll along this stunning stretch of coastline enjoying the peaceful pine woods, red squirrel reserve and protected sand dunes. One of the few remaining red squirrel colonies in the country, you’ll see the tiny indigenous red squirrels at Formby, where they feed on the ripe pine cones. Blow the cobwebs away on the beach with its wide open spaces and expanse of sky, where erosion of the sand has revealed footprints from animals and humans dating back to the late Neolithic/ early Bronze Age.

A British Museum Tour.

• Les Liaisons Dangereuses
27th – 29th May
Unity Theatre
Tel: 0844 873 2888, www.unitytheatreliverpool.co.uk
Les Liaisons Dangereuses charts the seduction of both the young, innocent but very willing Cecile and the upstanding and devout Mme de Tourvel by Le Vicomte de Valmont. Valmont begins the play as a cynical pleasure-seeker, proud of his reputation as a master manipulator and seducer. He is encouraged in his enterprises by his former mistress, La Marquise de Merteuil, who shares his cynicism, but who has an ulterior motive. Set in France among aristocrats before the Revolution, this is nevertheless a play for all time about sexual manners and manipulation bristling with tart, funny and exquisitely moulded lines. Supple and addictive playwriting at its best.
