This book tells the fascinating story of Bluecoat's transformation from 18th century charity school to Britain's first arts centre a century ago. Hosting music, visual art, performance and literature, it is described as where 'village hall meets the avant-garde', a unique venue at the heart of Liverpool's cultural life.

Bryan Biggs has worked at Bluecoat over four decades, overseeing many aspects of the arts centre's work, from gallery exhibitions to capital development. He has been involved in other cultural organisations on Merseyside including the boards of FACT and Liverpool Biennial. He recently oversaw Bluecoat's tercentenary year, 2017, and creation of a new website, My Bluecoat, featuring material from the arts centre's archive.
