Very impressed - visited with husband & kids (age 7 & 4). Staff friendly & had put some thought into kids' enjoyment too. Kids were given a backpack with directions to locate a particular picture. Once they found it (a picture of children enjoying a picnic) they were delighted to open the backpack & take out a tablecloth & picnic... More

On a below freezing day in February my sister and I decided to visit the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Wirral, UK. We wanted a warm bowl of soup and some crusty bread followed by a coffee to revive us, then a leisurely walk around the gallery. I'll skip to the good bit first. The gallery is well worth a... More

The Lady Lever Gallery is tucked away in the pretty Port Sunlight. Although it is small it is full to the brim with important works of art especially from the Pre-Raphaelite movement and Victorian era. You can easily while a way a morning or afternoon here and the cafe is great for when you need a sit down! More

Stubbs, Pre-Raphaelite brothers, Wedgewood, Roman sculpture... and a superb history of the... More

Very helpful staff. Good shop and... More

Firstly it’s free. And it is a very interesting eclectic range of contents. Children would like it. It’s not so big and has art and period rooms to enjoy. Staff were very helpful with them suggesting to us to go into Liverpool by the nearby station and visiting the Walker Gallery (£3 return each adult) fantastic. More

This was an add on to our main trip over to Liverpool and we are glad we made the slight detour to spend a couple of hours here. The location of the gallery in a Victorian 'model' village is the first delight set amongst the lovely homes that the Lever family built for their workers. It helps you to understand... More
