The Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool is absolutely beautiful. It has amazing stained glass windows, a very old organ that is up on the wall and the commands are on the opposite wall. The cathedral is the biggest that we have seen until now in the UK. You can light a candle for the departed and the people that are still here. The most important thing for us is that we could visit it together with our dog. She is part of the family and we are happy that she was welcomed. During our time there we had a moment in which one off the priests said a prayer and she was very well behaved and got some pets and praises from some of the staff.

Free to enter, online guides available Either use their app, or Bloomberg Connects, or a family tour. But there are useful signs dotted around. Or book a guided walking tour. £8 gets you up to the top of the tower. Two lifts and 108 steps. All very safe, bit not for wheelchairs. This is an enormous building made of brick, stone, steel and concrete. Unadorned in it's beautiful state. It can make you feel humble or elated, but it is awe inspiring. Pleasant staff, and working ministers. Nice cafe, several toilets. Don't forget the necropolis outside, which is housed in the old quarry. Over 60,000 people buried there after the stone was excavated to build the city. There is parking onsite or cheaper nearby.

Really beautiful cathedral and absolutely huge; you can see it from loads of places around the city. We just popped in for a look and ended up staying longer than expected. Inside was really peaceful, the windows incredible, and the whole place felt impressive. Got student tickets for £6; good deal. Staff were friendly and there’s a café and little shop if you fancy a drink or a souvenir. If you go up the tower you get an amazing view over Liverpool, especially on a clear day. Definitely worth a visit if you’re nearby

Plentiful parking right outside, easy accessibility for all and help on hand if needed. Clean toilets and lovely environment throughout. The staff and volunteers are so friendly and helpful. We had a lovely morning, lunch and a couple of drinks too in the lovely cafe. So many beautiful areas to explore and lots of information on hand. Cannot recommend this place enough for a bit of culture in your life. We will defo be back.

Absolutely stunning! Liverpool Cathedral may not be ancient, but it’s one of the largest in the UK and completely free to visit. It is an unmissable and truly iconic landmark when visiting Liverpool. The towering exterior is breathtaking, and once you step inside, the soaring ceilings and long central nave create an incredible sense of space and grandeur. When sunlight shines through the beautiful stained glass windows, the whole place feels sacred and peaceful. A perfect spot to pause, reflect, and admire truly magnificent architecture, well worth spending some time to explore.
