Since the early 1960s, when The Beatles first made their appearance, Liverpool has played a leading role in the formation of the world's popular music culture. This tour will take you on a journey back into the sights and sounds of Liverpool during the heyday of the Beatles' fame. You will see their former homes (exterior view), and pass by the places that inspired their music, including Penny Lane and Strawberry Field.
Strawberry Field, a heritage centre standing on the site of the former Salvation Army Children’s home where John Lennon found solace as a child playing in the grounds, was immortalized in 1967 by the release of the Beatles Song, Strawberry Fields Forever. Visit the exhibition depicting the early years of the Beatles and enjoy a walk in the Peace Garden.
You will hear the story of how Paul was turned down for the cathedral choir, and see the places where they worked before they found fame and fortune as musicians. Your tour ends at the Royal Albert Dock with a visit to The Beatles Story -- an exhibition that charts the success of the band from their early days right through to the height of their success, their subsequent break-up, and their later solo careers.
