The countdown to the return of the Giants this week is well and truly on, and the organisers have been hinting at some of the highlights of their three-day visit on social media today.

Posting on their Facebook page earlier this afternoon, Giant Spectacular said: "A date for the diary is Saturday night at Clarence Dock for the ultimate finale - we wave goodbye to the Giants on Sunday but Saturday night is an extra surprise."

The Giants organisers also posted on Twitter that there would be a "40 minute performance" from the Little Girl Giant, her pet dog Xolo and the Grandmother when they arrive at Clarence Dock at 7:30pm.

The whole thing kicks off tomorrow morning, with the Grandmother sitting at St George's Hall on Wednesday and Thursday.

All three Giants will then begin their tour of Liverpool on Friday morning, when the Little Girl Giant and Xolo rise from the Queensway Tunnel, and the Grandmother from St George's Hall.

Over the course of the weekend, they will take in some of the city's best landmarks, from Newsham Park and the Chinese Arch, to the Strand and the Salthouse Docks.

They will then sail away from Canning Dock and down the River Mersey to close the 2014 Giant Spectacular at around 12:30pm on Sunday.
