These beautifully restored dockside warehouses are now home to a dazzling collection of bars, cafes, restaurants, shops and other unique visitor attractions including The Beatles Story museum.

The Beatles Story, Liverpool is ready to unveil an amazing new development.

Visitors will be able to feel part of this fascinating era. The attraction's 'Living history' is narrated by non other than Julia, John Lennon's sister. Particulary special is the inclusion of some taped conversations she had with Paul McCartney - a real coup for the award-winning attraction - as is the voice of Brian Epstein taken from a BBC Radio interview - a tape that has been held privately by the Epstein family for over 30 years.
