St George's Hall St George's Place, Liverpool L1 1JJ

St George's Hall is widely regarded as one of the finest neo-classical buildings in the world and is a Grade I listed building.

The idea for the Hall came about in the early 1800s from Liverpool people who were concerned about the lack of a place for the triennial music festivals, and shares were sold to raise funds. A venue was also being sought for the Civil and Crown Courts and it was decided that one building would serve both needs.

St George's Hall fell into disrepair in the 1980s but was reopened in April 2007 following a £23m award-winning refurbishment project, and is now a focal point for cultural, community, civic, corporate and performing arts activities.

St George's Hall is central to Liverpool's Cultural Quarter and was an important part of the city’s successful bid to become the European Capital of Culture in 2008, as well as a key part of the area which is a designated World Heritage Site.
