About this Event
Did you know that Liverpool's Hope Street was once voted the best street in the UK? It’s easy to imagine why.
Hope Street is described as a “cultural high street” running through the heart of Liverpool's Georgian Quarter and Knowledge Quarter. Book ended by the city's two Cathedrals, you'll find notable cultural institutions, historic pubs, and award-winning restaurants in abundance. Its position on top of a prominent Triassic sandstone ridge also affords visitors a panoramic view Liverpool’s centre and waterfront as well as across the River Mersey to the Wirral peninsula and the hills of North Wales beyond on a clear day.
Hope Street’s unique location provides the perfect platform to explore Liverpool’s history and significance through a guided walking tour, starting at the gates to the Anglican Cathedral and concluding at the foot of the Metropolitan Cathedral’s monumental steps.
During the tour you will discover:
· The finest architecture Liverpool has to offer, from Gothic Revival to Modernist, Neo Classical to Art Deco.
· Some of the oldest medical, cultural, and educational institutions in the UK.
· Stories of incredible individuals who have taken action to improve the lives of others throughout history.
· A place steeped in music heritage, from the oldest continuing professional symphony orchestra to the rock band who changed popular music and global culture.
· How centuries of global migration has shaped Liverpool into a vibrant and multicultural port city.
