St. George's Hall

St. George\'s Hall showing a fountain
Long at the heart of community life in Liverpool this 200-year-old masterpiece of neoclassical design is still going strong.

This grand hall has stood at the centre of Liverpool since the 19th century. The stunning neoclassical architecture is considered one of the finest examples of its kind in the United Kingdom, and its lavish interior attracts visitors from around the world. St George’s Hall has served as Liverpool’s law courts since opening in 1854, and a small concert hall within St George’s opened two years later. Today, the hall is a popular venue for concerts and performances. A Heritage Centre outlines the fascinating history of the building, and guided tours are offered of the chambers, concert hall and cells.

Time your visit to St George’s Hall to see the magnificent mosaic floor. For much of the year a wooden covering protects the floor, but each summer the 30,000 Minton tiles are revealed and the colourful design can be seen. The first time the tiles were shown to the public more than 100,000 people came to see it, and it remains one of Liverpool’s major annual events. The hall hosts a number of events throughout the year, including regular music concerts. Catch a live show from an international touring act, or see a world-class exhibition in the hall’s gallery spaces.

Learn the secrets of the hall at the Heritage Centre. The on-site museum is an excellent place to begin your visit to the hall. The introductory exhibition features photographs, videos and historic artifacts from St George’s Hall’s past. Follow a guided tour through the hall to see its huge vaulted ceiling. Continue through the 169-foot (52-metre) long hall to reach the concert organ. With 7,000 pipes the organ is one of the largest in the United Kingdom.

St George’s Hall is located on Lime Street, in the centre of Liverpool. Arrive by foot from many downtown locations, or use the metro station nearby. Parking is available in the streets surrounding the hall for a small fee. St George’s Hall is open daily and there is a small fee for admission.
