Group Leisure & Travel – May 2019

After admiring the views on the 10th

floor, you head up some more steps (124

to be precise) for breath-taking views of

the city, as well as seeing the mythical

Liver Birds, Bella and Bertie, up close.

Group bookings are available – but do so

well in advance.

Iconic waterfront

The beauty of Liverpool is that you don’t

have to travel far for iconic sights; walking

along the waterfront from the Liver

Building, past the stunning Cunard and

Port of Liverpool Buildings there are a

host of attractions to explore.

The ‘crown jewel’ of Liverpool’s world-

class museum collection (it has the most

museums outside of London in the UK)

is the Museum of Liverpool. If you’re

visiting before November make sure you

check out Double Fantasy – John & Yoko,

a free exhibition celebrating the meeting,

and story of John Lennon and Yoko Ono.

Blending the old and new beautifully,

the historic Royal Albert Dock (which

features the largest collection of Grade I

listed buildings in the country) is home to

a host of fantastic restaurants, bars, shops

and hotels. Not forgetting Tate Liverpool,

the Merseyside Maritime Museum and

of course the award-winning Beatles

Museum, The Beatles Story.

Here you’ll find the world’s largest

permanent exhibition devoted to the

lives of the Fab Four. We were taken on

an immersive journey discovering how

The Beatles first conquered Liverpool,

Sunny Southport...

Make sure you plan time to visit nearby Southport;

offering 22 miles of beautiful coastline the seaside

town is surrounded by natural beauty as well

as the iconic Anthony Gormley ‘Another Place’

art installation at Crosby beach. Southport itself

has some outstanding architecture as well as the

country’s second longest pier with nothing but

incredible views. Take a trip down memory lane as

you enjoy a ride on the Pier Tram, fish and chips

in hand, and get nostalgic with some traditional

seaside amusements.
