Heritage Centre
The Heritage Centre has been created to provide visitors with an exciting introduction to St George’s Hall and its place in Liverpool’s history.
Key features of the Heritage Centre include:
- The original south entrance hall on St John's Lane, designed by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, but never before used by the public.
- Opportunities to visit the cells used by prisoners awaiting trial.
- The newly refurbished Criminal Court and Judge’s Robing Room.
- Glimpses of the unique ventilation system designed by Dr David Boswell Reid.
- A learning suite for school parties. See our Education and community page for more information.
- A Community Room entitled ‘World Heritage-Your Heritage’ where local groups can exhibit work.
- A new accessible viewing gallery for the Great Hall.
Throughout the Heritage Centre, imaginative exhibitions, reconstructions and hands-on activities bring the story of St George’s Hall alive.
Visitors can follow in the steps of the unfortunate prisoners, from prison cell to the dock. Interactive hand-held units provide a range of themed tours.
