Liverpool Audio Tour: A Symphony of Sights and Sounds

Explore Liverpool at your own pace

Rain pours on ancient stones as Liverpool's secrets linger beneath bustling streets and bright facades. Monuments like St George's Hall and the Royal Court Theatre hide stories of scandal, rebellion, and lost legends-waiting to be heard.

This self-guided audio tour invites you to walk at your own pace through Liverpool City Centre, tuning into tales that echo beyond the usual visitor route. Uncover hidden layers, surprising sites, and dramatic twists along the way.

Which political showdown once shook St George's Hall to its very core? What mysterious midnight performance haunts the Royal Court Theatre? And how did Superlambanana become caught up in an art-world controversy almost nobody talks about?
