Beautiful cathedral with a peaceful atmosphere. Nice to go and sit and think away from the hustle and bustle of life. Gift shop has a vast array of items from roasaries to books. The café also do a nice selection of food and a great variety in soft drinks. One of my favourite places in Liverpool

Stunning interiors that command peace, admiration and respect. The lights sculpt the space in a theatrical way while providing a sense of calm and refuge.

From the outside it's an astounding piece of architecture and worth a quick walk around. Entrance is free but a donation is welcomed. Photography is permitted. Despite its circular layout the interior changes remarkably as you walk around. There are chapels and alcoves evenly spaced around the perimeter. In the centre, high above is the central stained glass spire. Sadly due to safety concerns there is a net underneath. It's a wonderful space to walk around & very peaceful. There is a cafe and amenities and a car park, which was full when I visited.

The Cathedral is stunning, so calm and peaceful.The stained glass windows are lovely.Entrance to the Cathedral is free but it is worth £3 to go down into the crypt.Seeing the Cathedral from the outside we thought oh no ultra modern but once we stepped inside it was so beautiful.

Liverpool cathedral. I've been in the NW for 27 years & this is the first time I've been in. Breathtaking scale... the pic shows a little of one wing.
