Located within Liverpool's historic Albert Dock, the Beatles Story is a unique visitor attraction that will transport you on an exciting and atmospheric journey into the life, times, culture and music of the Beatles.

Get to see how four young lads from Liverpool were propelled to the dizzy heights of worldwide fame and fortune to become the greatest band of all time. Hear the story unfold through the "Living History" audio guide narrated by John Lennon's sister, Julia and view some amazing and rare Beatles artefacts along the way.

The Beatles Story, Liverpool is currently undergoing a major expansion programme, which will more than double the existing floor space to provide new exhibition areas and vastly improved visitor facilities. The improvements, which will greatly enhance Liverpool's tourism product, are expected to open in spring 2008 to coincide with the city's year as European Capital of Culture. Imagine experiencing the greatest story the pop world has ever known, in the city where it all began! The multi-award winning Beatles Story experience is dedicated to Liverpool's most famous sons - John, Paul, George and Ringo.

The Beatles Story is told in 18 separate features including the streets of Hamburg, a full-size replica of the Cavern Club (complete with basement smells!), the Merseybeat office, Mathew Street, Abbey Road studios, 'Beatlemania', the psychedelic years, a walk-through Yellow Submarine in its underwater setting, the White Room dedicated to John Lennon and the new Paul McCartney: The Solo Years section.

Recent acquisitions include George Harrison's first guitar, which is on display for the first time in the UK, and the emotional and evocative feature 'Lenses of Lennon' where you can actually peer through his iconic round spectacles!
