Brief description

"The Hall was the vision of Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, and, although young, produced a magical concept to add spice to the design with the addition of the incredible 500 seat Concert Room.

St George’s Hall is a truly unique building in concept, design, and vision. The Victorians held nothing back in their ambition to create this work of art.

Elmes took inspiration from the Roman and Greek empires, creating a neoclassical Greek-Romano building, now classed as one of the finest in the world. It is an intrinsic part of Liverpool’s UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Hall has held thousands of events over the years, many of which are iconic, receiving international acclaim. Among such events are Liverpool’s Remembrance Sunday Services, with the National Theatre making a poignant tribute with an appearance by Joey the ‘War Horse’ in 2017. Other events include the iconic Weeping Window poppies feature which had originally been shown at the Tower of London, and Royal de Luxe’s world-renowned Giant Spectacular events, which were ran in conjunction with Culture Liverpool. The Hall also plays a part in major art festivals, including Liverpool Biennial and Light Night where major art works and interpretations are positioned throughout the venue.

The Hall is also fortunate to have a world renowned Willis concert organ, with recitals still taking place to this day within this majestic space, with its barrel vaulted ceiling and the peerless encaustic tiled Minton Floor."
