The Wirral History & Heritage Fair is a regular fixture on the local history calendar, hosted at Hulme Hall, Port Sunlight, and bringing together local history and heritage groups from across the Wirral under one roof.

West Kirby Museum takes a stall at the fair most years, alongside other heritage groups — a chance to talk to volunteers, browse local history publications, and find out what the Research Group has been working on.
