The Beatles Experience
Emdad Rahman
We visited The Beatles Story in Liverpool recently and loved it.
The group and I spent a morning there with super Jan, my mate from Bootle. Armed with headsets and Jan’s knowledge of all things Beatles, we had a fun packed morning, admiring the exhibition, whilst learning so many new things.
The exhibition is situated on the Albert Dock and within very close proximity to Liverpool one with its array of eateries, shopping stores and cafes.
The basic elements of the Beatles story are all available to enjoy here, and there are also some interviews of interest available on audio commentary.
Visitors can take in a replica of the Cavern Club, take a glance at the Abbey Road recording studio and sit on the 1964 America bound jet. The Cavern has Beatles gear on display, and the exhibition also has rare memorabilia on display, such as George Harrison’s childhood guitar and two of Lennon’s worn glasses.
A visit to the cultural capital of Liverpool would not be complete without a visit to the Beatles experience. The experience gives fans and those visiting out of interest an idea and feeling of the Liverpool’s historic music scene. The gift shop is super with fair prices on official merchandise.
The audio tour is available in many languages, and the personnel are very friendly. Mind you, personnel at establishments we visited in Liverpool are so much nicer than those in London, and not something we are used to here by a long way. A smile goes a very long way, and London establishments have a long way to go to provide such service. I can honestly say that I have met some of the friendliest people ever in Liverpool.
Located in the Fab Four's hometown of Liverpool, the award-winning Beatles Story experience is an atmospheric journey into the life, times, culture and music of the Beatles.
Join the magical mystery tour to see how four young lads from Liverpool were propelled to the dizzy heights of worldwide fame and fortune to become the greatest band of all time.
Major expansion in 08/09 saw the Beatles Story triple in size and expand over two sites to include even more fun and interactive features.
Open every day except 25/26th December.
