5 reasons why you should visit Liverpool Cathedral's shop

Whether it’s jigsaws and guidebooks, quirky keyrings or classic ‘Scouseware’, the shop at Liverpool Cathedral is far more than your typical gift shop.

It feels more like a standalone boutique – a place where you’ll always discover something unique, thoughtful and perfect for that extra special someone.

So, next time you’re running around town in search of a last-minute gift, here are five reasons why Liverpool Cathedral’s shop deserves to be top of your list.

The perfect present for the Scouser in your life

From mugs proudly declaring ‘Scouser Born & Bred’ to recipe tea towels and hanging hearts, Liverpool Cathedral’s shop is brimming with playful ‘Scouseware’. Each piece celebrates the city’s rich cultural heritage and unique local language, inspired by iconic worldwide hits, famous phrases, and unmistakable Scouse wit. These keepsakes make wonderful mementos for Scousers everywhere, whether they’re ‘born and bred,’ living abroad, or simply Scouse at heart.

Gifts that honour Liverpool Cathedral’s rich history

The designer of Liverpool Cathedral, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, is also the genius behind one of Britain’s most recognisable icons: the red telephone box, originally created to mark the Jubilee of King George V. Fittingly, Scott’s smallest design now finds a home within his greatest masterpiece: Liverpool Cathedral itself.

To honour this connection, the Cathedral shop offers a delightful range of telephone box–inspired gifts. From keyrings and money boxes to telephone box-inspired tins of tea, these souvenirs make the perfect memento of a visit to the Cathedral or a quintessential keepsake of the UK.
