ESCAPE the everyday – and Escape to Liverpool…

Of course, it’s the birthplace of the biggest rock and roll band of all time, the Beatles, but as well as that, its musical might, amazing arts and culture, and tons of top attractions make Liverpool a city that’s loved around the world.

1. Brilliant bevvies

Museums, magical mystery tours, and the iconic St George’s Hall, are all part of Liverpool’s colourful heritage. There are plenty of places and activities that will take your breath away – two of the greatest football stadiums for a start, St John’s Beacon, and, one of the Three Graces, the Royal Liver Building with its 360 Tour and unmissable clock face that’s bigger than Big Ben’s!
