St George's Hall
One of the finest neoclassical buildings in the world. Its hall is paved with more than 30,000 tiles of Minton porcelain, and it preserves a Victorian courtroom and cells.
St George's Hall was completed in 1854 and stands opposite Lime Street Station. It is one of Britain's finest Greek Revival buildings, combining a concert hall and courts of law. The main hall has a magnificent vaulted ceiling and a huge pipe organ. Its floor is laid with more than 30,000 Minton porcelain tiles, which are usually covered for protection and uncovered only on a few days each year. Visitors can also see the old courtrooms and the underground cells. Some areas can be visited freely, or you can join a guided tour. Opening hours often change with events. In winter, the square in front of the hall hosts a Christmas market.
