Attractions - Things to do

collection of modern art in the UK outside of London, and a browse

gallery has an impressive collection of 20th and 21st century works
of modern art selected from the Tate Collection that are exhibited
through regularly changing themed displays. There are also several

2. The Beatles Story Experience
Britannia Vaults, Albert Dock
www.beatlesstory.com |
What is it? For Beatles fans, The Beatles Story
Experience is an absolute must. Set in the trendy and historic
Albert Dock, The Beatles Story allows visitors to trace the
development of the Fab Four, from their early days playing in
Hamburg to the mass hysteria of Beatlemania, the eventual break-up
of the band and their ensuing solo careers. Eighteen different
features, as well as the Living History audio tour with the voices
of Sir Paul McCartney, Beatles producer Sir George Martin and band
manager Brian Epstein, continue to delight fans and win over new
ones. See George Harrison's first guitar, view the world through a
collection of John Lennon's signature round lens glasses, explore
the Yellow Submarine and enjoy a recreation of the stage at the
Cavern Club on Mathew Street where The Beatles played over 290
times. As well as the Beatle Story Experience, Liverpool also
boasts several other Beatles related tours and sights that are well
worth exploring, including a Magical Mystery Bus Tour of famous
Beatles sights such as Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields, Paul
McCartney's former home at 20 Forthlin Road, the famous Cavern Club
and the Mathew Street Gallery that houses the art work of John
Lennon.

4. Speke Hall
The Walk
www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-spekehall/ |
What is it? On the edge of an industrial estate and just
minutes away from the Liverpool Airport, the half-timbered black
and white Speke Hall is a piece of history tucked in amongst
modern-day Liverpool. Once on the brink of ruin, this purportedly
haunted 450-year-old Tudor house is now a popular Liverpool
attraction and is also the departure point for tours to the
neighbouring former home of Sir Paul McCartney. Speke Hall boasts
beautifully restored rooms, lovely gardens, and spectacular views
of the Mersey basin and the North Wales hills across the high bank
of The Bund. Speke Hall is also a popular venue for events such as
weddings and it plays host to various concerts, particularly over
the summer. Guided tours by costumed guides are available and tours
of the roof space are also available on selected days. The Home
Farm is about five minutes from the house and has a visitor's
centre, shop and good restaurant.
Hours of Operation: Opening times vary considerably according to season;
