The 10 Best Free Things to do in Liverpool, England

January 2, 2022 Phylicia Berquist

Liverpool's fortunes have historically been tied to shipping. But imports and exports like sugar, spice and tobacco pale in comparison with Liverpool's most famous export of all—the Beatles. Relive the hysteria at the Beatles Story Experience, and check out Paul's childhood home, but also leave time for exploring Liverpool Cathedral and the Walker Art Gallery.

Sudley House

Sudley House has been described as a hidden gem. Tucked away in Liverpool's leafy suburbs, Sudley is the only house of a Victorian merchant that still has its original pictures, including works by Millais, Turner and Rossetti. With beautiful period furniture, carpets and wallpaper it doesn't feel like a regular gallery, more a period home that you've been given the keys to. Admission is free, booking essential at www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/sudleyhouse

In all the years we've been coming to the great city of Liverpool we had never visited this glorious house and gallery. Sublime paintings, fabulous interiors, and amazing views to the Welsh hills from the rear terrace and gardens. Cannot recommend a visit enough. Staff are absolutely WONDERFUL, knowledgeable and friendly. A great afternoon out.
