Liverpool Cathedral

Went on one of the newly created outside tours around the cathedral and it was brilliant. Have been around the inside so many times so it was really good to see all the intricate details on the exterior.
Tour guide (Brian) was very knowledgeable and pointed out many things you would easily walk past without noticing.
The workers who created the cathedral were so skilled and their work has stood the test of time.
The impact the weather has on the building is pointed out and Brian was able to answer all of the questions we asked.
Definitely worth booking for an outside tour.

This cathedral is beautiful, the architecture is spectacular, the stain glass windows are amazing also giving for some spectacular photo opportunities.
The cathedral is free to enter however their are donation plates around the cathedral.
We used the hop on hop off sightseeing bus to get there which takes you around liverpool.
Lovely place would recommend a visit

I braved the storm and walked to the cathedral and arrived 45 minutes before the Sunday morning service, the choir were practicing and that certainly added to the amazing first impression.
I firmly believe the best way to see a cathedral is when it is doing what it was designed to do.
The weather closed in during the service and battered the building (leading to mops buckets and the obligatory wet floor signs.
Everyone was very friendly and I had a good look around after the service.
Coming from Kent (with our two Cathedrals) I feel bad saying this but, do not judge this book by it's cover it is the most amazing space inside.

Liverpool Cathedral is one of the best cathedrals in the UK having seen at least half a dozen in the UK and this is not biased because I live in Liverpool.
Although it was built in the last century (1900's) it is as interesting as Salisbury and Winchester it has a charm all of it's own. The Cathedral was built from red sandstone quarried from Woolton quarry not far from where John Lennon used to hang around in his teens, or from St Peter's church (on top of the old quarry) where John wrote his Beatles hit "Eleanor Rigby" taking the title of the song from an old grave stone.
The cathedral is very large so will take a few hours to visit and if you have the time you can view the city from the top of it. Also if you have time you can visit the graves where William Huskisson PC (11 March 1770 – 15 September 1830) was a British statesman, financier, and Member of Parliament for several constituencies, including Liverpool.
He is commonly known as the world's first widely reported railway passenger casualty as he was run over and fatally wounded by Robert Stephenson's pioneering locomotive Rocket and is buried there. At the front of the cathedral is Hope street and you can see our other cathedral "Christ the King" at the other end of Hope street
So if you are interested in a good day out 1st visit Liverpool cathedral, then LIPA university (Paul McCartney idea) then on to Christ the King, you won't be disappointed and will see Liverpool in a different light.

An imposing piece of the skyline, the relatively new cathedral is not a pretty building from the outside. Paid parking is available (30 minutes free) and once inside there’s plenty more money to be spent. Entrance is free but everything in each corridor seems to tack on another fee: digital angel wings photo opportunity, crossing a bridge, and a coffee shop.

The inside is impressively grand. The kids and I marveled at how high the ceilings were. While there we saw the paper dove display which was beautiful and lit up in purpled and blues. The rest of the cathedral was rather dark. The stain glass was pretty but difficult to see the pictures as it was such small pieces so far up.

Small toilet area available with baby changing.

We went to visit the cathedral after seeing it on a tour bus.
The cathedral is stunning, definitely worth visiting.
I would recommend that you check the times they close, as we were disappointed that if shut at 4.00pm
There is no entrance fee, but donations are welcome.
Many parts are closed due to the COVID-19, but I would still definitely recommend a visit.

We knew quite a bit about Liverpool Cathedral having visited before, but learnt so much about the construction and cost of building. A very interesting and safe tour, lasting about 1 hour and well worth the time. Great value for money and the guide made us feel welcome and valued. So many unusual things to see on the outside.

We stopped off at the cathedral to light some candles for our loved ones we had already done the same down the road at the metropolitan cathedral.u

I am always blown away by how beautiful the cathedral is and fascinated by the architecture. two of Gilbert Scott's greatest achievements the cathedral and the telephone box

Had a lovely lunch here, expensive but delicious

A visit to the cathedral is a great way to spend some time.

you can pay to go up the cathedral Tower it is amazing but on this occasion It wasn't somthing we would do there are lifts up to near the peel of bells but you still have over 100 steps to climb to the top if you can manage it you really should its beautiful

We'd booked a visit to this wonderful cathedral when we first planned a short visit to Liverpool. Unfortunately, I'd not realised that the cathedral was closing daily at 15:00 during the covid-19 crisis. Or booking began at 14:30 but the friendly and attentive staff pointed out how little time we had. We would have preferred longer to explore in more depth but managed to cover the main areas during an enjoyable half hour. The building is magnificent and has some unusual features, the stone built pulpit struck me as being unusually intricate, just one of many points of interest.

Well worth paying to go up the tower on a clear day the views are spectacular and is roughly half price compared to the wheel, also you can stay up the top and take as may photos as you want. The cafe is well worth a visit as well we can recommend the scouse, gammon steak and chips and the jacket potatoes. Fairly priced as well.
