MATCHDAY SORTED: YOUR SMART STAY FOR LIVERPOOL HOME GAMES

Planning a football weekend break in the North West? Whether it’s a long-awaited Premier League derby or a thrilling Champions League night under the lights, one question always comes up:

Where should I stay for Liverpool home games?

If you’re thinking city centre… think again.

Just outside the hustle -and away from the hotel surge pricing – sits a hidden gem: The Runmere Hotel in Runcorn. It’s quickly becoming a favourite for fans looking for a hotel near Anfield Stadium without the matchday chaos or the premium price tag.
