We have made our Roost creatures available for adoption. There are just 100 uniquely crafted creatures available – one to symbolise each year of Alder Hey’s 100 year history before we opened Alder Hey in the Park – and your adoption is for life!
An adoption costs £500 and is available through our online shop and gallery, where you can read the stories behind each adoption.
"I see these fantastical beings, birds and animals I have created inhabiting the hospital, as if the people have left and they are running, climbing ,sitting and roosting in the spaces."

Dave Houghton is an Alder Hey project manager. Dave lived and breathed the Alder Hey in the Park project and worked closely with young people throughout the build to make sure their ideas were listened to. During the final stages of the build, Dave adopted the first creature to be installed on the Roost, naming her Bev in memory of his wife.
