St. George’s Hall has launched a new and improved History Whisperer attraction 🤩

Visitors to St George’s Hall will be able to walk in the footsteps of a Victorian prison guard from Friday 26th April.

The iconic hall’s popular visitor experience The History Whisperer has been reimagined and will now also feature a new character - The Warder - as part of an immersive exhibition.

Using augmented reality technology, the extended History Whisperer, which was launched in 2021, will now take the public to little-seen parts of the hall. Wending their way past the prison cells, across a bridge and into subterranean areas, visitors will also see the Engine Room where they can view the inner workings of the original heating and ventilation system that made St George’s Hall the world’s first fully air-conditioned public building.

Supported by The Wolfson Foundation, The Warder’s story is being brought to life through a stunning creative collaboration. Captivating visuals have been conjured up by Gazooky Studios, Immersive Interactive’s creativity allows a dynamic exploration of history, with Music in Mind and CineTecture supplying soundscapes and visuals respectively.

For the first time, visitors will also be able to explore The History Whisperer at their own pace with no timed slots.

Larger groups can now visit the experience without having to pre-book.

The History Whisperer: The Warder will be open to the public from Friday 26 April, tickets are now available from the @stgeorgeshall_liverpool website.

Canning Dock transformation has received the green light! 🤩

Liverpool’s iconic waterfront is set to undergo a significant transformation with the latest milestone reached in the National Museums Liverpool’s Waterfront Transformation Project.

National Museums Liverpool’s Waterfront Transformation Project has now secured planning permission, which aims to revitalise the Canning Quaysides and Dry Docks into a space for education, contemplation and recreation.

At the heart of this £15 million redevelopment lies the restoration of the south dry dock, constructed in 1765, to make it accessible to the public for the first time.

Thanks to a £10 million contribution from the Government’s ‘Levelling Up’ fund, plans include the construction of a new stop wall, a staircase, and a lift, enabling visitors to explore this historic site.

Plans also feature a twin-lever footbridge from the Royal Albert Dock across to the Canning quayside. The wider public realm will be enhanced with level pathways, an open-air events space, and significant improvements to the interpretation of items around the site.

Construction work on the designs, which are being led by architects, Asif Khan Studio, and internationally renowned artist, Theaster Gates, are due to start in autumn 2024.

The Liverpool sign has had a makeover. 🔴🔵 This latest design is inspired by the patterns of vintage football kits from Liverpool FC and Everton FC as a celebration of the city’s passion for football. 
 
The new artwork that decorates the Liverpool sign, which is located at Liverpool ONE, was designed by Liverpool-based artist Claire Pinegar, to highlight Liverpool’s famous football heritage.  
 
Each letter of the 14.5-metre sign is wrapped in a segment from iconic football kits from the past, with bold lines, bright colours, and motifs instantly recognisable to football fans from Liverpool and beyond.
