Excursion The beatles experience tour at Liverpool

The Beatles formed following a chance meeting between John Lennon and Paul McCartney at the Woolton Village fete in 1957. They released their first album, Please Please Me, in 1963 and went on to have 17 number one hits in the UK and huge success in the US charts.

This Beatles Experience will take you from 1950s Liverpool where it all began, to the modern-day celebration of the Beatles and their song writing.

Walk in the footsteps of the Beatles in places they frequented during their formative years in Liverpool. See well known places such as Penny Lane as well as lesser known places that were poignant in the Beatles inimitable story.

Strawberry Field

Your Beatles Experience will take you to Strawberry Field, immortalized in 1967 with the release of the Beatles Song, Strawberry Fields Forever.  Today a heritage centre stands on the site of the former Salvation Army children's home where John Lennon found solace as a child playing in the grounds. Take a walk in the Peace Garden and an unprecedented insight into John Lennon's childhood with immersive multimedia and an exhibition depicting the early years of the Beatles.

Strawberry Field is a training/work placement hub for young people with learning disabilities and a place for spiritual exploration. Julia Baird, John Lennon's sister is Honorary President.

The Beatles Story

Conclude your Beatles Experience with a visit to the award-winning The Beatles Story. This is the world's largest permanent exhibition purely devoted to telling the story of The Beatles' rise to fame. Located at the Royal Albert Dock, The Beatles Story will take you on a moving journey through the lives, times, culture and music of the fab four.

Hear the story unfold with audio guides as you browse through replicas of the Casbah, The Cavern and the streets of Hamburg and see rare exhibits and photographs of the Beatles and their extraordinary lives.

You'll be moved by John's recording of 'Imagine' in the mysterious white room, and a splendid 'Beatles Experience' is guaranteed for all.  For fans of the Fab Four, or even for those who want to see what the fuss was about, the Beatles Story is a fascinating glimpse into the past.
