Red granite columns, ribbed ceilings blinding in gold leaf, gleaming marbled floors and more: it’s not without reason that St George’s Hall earned the moniker of the most perfect hall in the world by Charles Dickens. Looking like a portrait out of a palace, St George’s Hall is the pinnacle of the growth of arts and culture in Liverpool. As the Civil and Crown Court, it contains cells for prisoners awaiting trial. In startling contrast to this somber function, it has also hosted some of the grandest musical acts in the area such as the Beatles and is aflame with the passion of football enthusiasts after a Cup Final victory by Liverpool or Everton. The corridors and vaulted chambers of St George’s Hall have been witness to some of the most historic moments of the region and these are kept alive till today through memorabilia and exhibits reliving those instances.

It’s easy to be overwhelmed by the glittering crystal chandeliers and vast rooms so following a guide comes in handy. With the hall and its stories at the back of their hand, no stone will be left unturned in your exploration of the hall. Beneath the dazzling lights is a story waiting to unfold that is sure to leave you breathless.
