Liverpool: Strawberry Field Entry Ticket

This was a most wonderful place to see and experience. Not only is it a background to John Lennon’s story, but also it is so inspiring to see how The Salvation Army is using this place of historical importance to benefit the lives of young people.

Excellent visit. The staff were wonderful

It's a 'self guided tour' which means you are given a device rather like a smartphone with a headset. This syncs with the video content on the video screens inside and contains other information if you want to go deeper into the subject. The exhibition goes into the history of the house, the history of the Salvation Army who acquired it in 1936 and operated it as a children's home and of course the connection with John Lennon and the Beatles. There's also some physical memorabilia in there including a very special piano, and the exhibition ends with an immersive psychedelic projector show depicting the sang Strawberry Fields Forever. It was only £11 to see the exhibition which I thought was good value but if you want, you can just go to the cafe or wander around the gardens which are free admission. On a weekday it's a peaceful place just to relax for an hour, although it might be busy at peak times. For Beatles tourists there's a good souvenir shop to spend your holiday money.
