Liam's impressive career includes national and international stage performances with Mind the Gap, one of the UK's leading disability arts organisations. Since 2015, he has become a familiar face on the popular television series Coronation Street, where he has endeared himself to fans with his compelling portrayal of Alex Warner.

Beyond his acting career, Liam is also a trained facilitator, delivering a wide range of workshops that empower and inspire participants. His commitment to advocacy is evident in his role as an ambassador for MENCAP, a leading charity for people with learning disabilities. Liam frequently speaks at conferences, sharing his experiences and championing the rights and talents of learning-disabled individuals.


At the upcoming event, Liam Bairstow will be joining Christine Talbot on stage to present the Charitable Excellence Award.
