St Georges Hall

St George's Hall was reopened on April 23rd 2007 by HRH The Prince of Wales, after the completion of a £23m restoration. The Hall has been carefully restored to its original glory and a new Heritage Centre has been created to provide visitors with a dynamic and exciting introduction to St George’s Hall and its place in Liverpool’s history.
Key features of the Heritage Centre include:
• The original south entrance hall on St Johns Lane, designed by Harvey Longsdale Elmes, but never before used by the public;
• Opportunities to visit the cells used by prisoners awaiting trial;
• The newly refurbished Criminal Court and Judge’s Robing Room;
• Glimpses of the unique ventilation system designed by Dr David Boswell Reid;
• A Learning Suite for school parties;
• A Community Room entitled ‘World Heritage-Your Heritage’ where local groups can display exhibitions;
• A new accessible viewing gallery for the Great Hall;
• The Minton Tea Room (Closed on Sunday)

Throughout the Heritage Centre, imaginative exhibitions, reconstructions and hands-on activities vividly bring the story of St George’s Hall alive. Visitors can follow in the steps of the unfortunate prisoners, from prison cell to the dock.

Guided tours are available please call 0151 225 6909 for information and bookings.

The Hall can be hired for dinners, conferences and Civic weddings set in the beautiful gilded circular Victorian Concert room a favourite for Charles Dickens when he gave his penny readings. It can also be a venue to support away days, training and breakfast meetings with high quality catering on request to meet your needs for more information call 0151 225 6911 or visit our website at www.stgeorgeshallliverpool.co.uk.
