St George's Hall Concerts 2024

Great venue for events but also stands out to be a building of stature. It boasts of grand pillars, lots of statues and has a nice park/courtyard to the rear which all can enjoy. The venue is almost opposite Lime Street Station. Take time to take in the beauty of this place.

Wonderful place to visit. You can do a walk through tour with videos to watch, describing what it was like when it was a prison and courthouse. Some of the screens are interactive. The staff is quite knowledgeable and extremely friendly.

We visited on a Saturday unsure if we could just walk in or if we needed to book. After searching for the entrance (it’s through the 1954 cafe) we entered the foyer where we were informed by the friendly staff it was guided tours only which run on the hour. With only 20 mins til the next tour we grabbed a quick cuppa and cake in the lovely warm cozy cafe before joining the tour. And what an interesting and informative tour it was! We were transported back in time, visiting the original cells and sitting in the gallery of the court where local prisoners were dealt with. It was a real eye opener and a great history lesson. Interactive displays and old photographs of prisoners make it fascinating for a history buff like me. Our guide (a retired navy gentleman) was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and was happy to answer our questions. After our visit to the court (no longer in use) we were taken to the beautiful hall which is absolutely stunning and the photos don’t do it justice! Again our guide had an abundance of knowledge. I highly recommend this tour which took just over an hour and for £4 each is excellent value.

It was a nice venue and seating was good in position. Love historical buildings and it's one of them. Full of history with nice architecture. Sitting just in front of Liverpool station. Worth to visit and I'm glade I made it.

Who needs to go abroad when you've got places like this in the UK? We prebooked the guided tour. It took us a while - about 10 minutes - to find the entrance! This should be signposted from the front of the hall. So give yourselves time to find it. You start off visiting the prison cells and the court. The guide is extremely knowledgeable and quite loud. The courts are amazing and really take you back in time. Then you get led into the hall itself. You will gasp, I promise. It is fabulous! I won't say more, but take time to take it all in. Then we went to the concert hall, which is stunningly beautiful. It's all been restored in recent years. Gold leaf everywhere. You are deposited back at the door where, gasping for a drink but the cafe being closed, we went over to the library, which has a good cafe plus the Picton Reading room which is another 'must see'.
