Brief description

"Our museum tells the story of William Lever and his vision in creating this village for workers at his Sunlight Soap factory. Explore how the village developed over the years, from the working and living conditions to the charming architecture. The museum is packed with tales and nostalgia, from displays of vintage soap packaging to Ringo Starr’s first performance with the Beatles in the village in 1962. Through film shows, interactives, models and an array of intriguing artefacts you can discover the tale of this inspirational village.

As part of your Port Sunlight Experience ticket, visitors get a chance to step inside a worker’s cottage and experience everyday life in Port Sunlight in Edwardian times. Visitors can explore the recreated home of the Carr Family who were long-time tenants and worked in the Lever Brothers factory. The historic cottage, Number 22, is right next door to the museum and you’ll be given a warm welcome by our volunteers.

To enter the museum and Edwardian Worker’s Cottage, you must purchase a ticket for The Port Sunlight Experience. This also grants you entry to our brand-new interactive family experience SoapWorks.

Booking is essential"
