The perfect place to begin your journey exploring this historic garden village. The Museum tells the story of industrialist William Lever and how he created a high quality village to house the workers at his soap factory. The story of the village is told through film shows, artefacts, archive photographs and models. Displays also explore Port Sunlight at War, the events around the first gig The Beatles played with Ringo Starr which happened in the village, and stories behind some of the famous products made here, such as Sunlight & Lifebuoy soap. Entry to the museum also includes access to the Edwardian worker's cottage. This new attraction, next door to the main museum building, has recreated this historic building as it might have looked in 1913.

We really enjoyed our visit here. The staff were very friendly, the parking is easy, (right across the road) and free. The museum is not very big at all, but there is a 20 minute video that was a really interesting watch and plenty of boards and such around to read and gain information about the town, the people, Lever and the company. They had a little interesting facts section about the Beatles history around Port Sunlight too.There is also a worker's cottage next door to the museum to visit too which is included in the ticket price. If you have a somewhat decent attention span, don't mind reading information boards and enjoy history, then it's worth a visit. For the film, informational reading and worker's cottage it will take about an hour and a half to do. It was 9 pound for me and my husband to get in. I thought it was worth it (it gives a nice background on William Lever...I recommend visiting her to gain that insight before visiting the Lady Lever Museum). I noticed it's 13 pound for a family of four. It's not exactly a bank breaker. I really don't get some of the complaints about the entry price. So many people seem to want something for nothing these days. Just forgo one overpriced coffee or some other vice and that should afford your way into the museum. Preserving history is probably a much better way to spend the money anyway. The building and such won't be free to maintain. They do have to pay to upkeep, employees, the building inside and out as well as the worker's cottage. I am more than happy to contribute to keep a bit of history preserved for current and future generations. Definitely recommended.
