Step into the heart of Liverpool’s rich history with a 30-minute guided tour of the iconic Concert Room at St. George’s Hall, arguably one of the most elegant and historically significant spaces in Liverpool. The more intimately sized (yet, just as sumptuous) Concert Room, which Charles Dickens once described as “the most perfect Hall in the world” was formerly known as the Golden Concert Room and was refurbished prior to the reopening of St George’s Hall in 2007.
During the tour, your guide will share fascinating insights into the Hall’s storied past, from its use as a concert venue to its role in civic life. You’ll then be guided through The Concert Room, where you’ll marvel at the arabesque-decorated columns which support a picturesque frieze featuring griffins. This all builds up to the ornate ceiling, which carries a breath-taking 2,824-piece chandelier. You’ll also learn about the hall’s extensive renovation and restoration, ensuring its place as a symbol of Liverpool’s cultural and architectural heritage.
After the tour, enjoy up to 30 minutes of free exploration in which you can take the time to fully absorb the breath-taking details. Throughout your visit, our expert tour guides and City Hall Ambassadors will be available to answer any questions, offering even more insight into St. George’s Hall’s role in shaping Liverpool’s identity. This is the perfect chance to connect with the building’s history and ask any lingering questions about the architecture, artworks, and local heritage.
