Above and Beyond Tours
The Above and Beyond Tour is your chance to venture into unseen areas of Liverpool Cathedral…
Our cathedral is a national architectural treasure, and thousands enjoy exploring it each week. It has many hidden corners – areas that are usually ‘off limits’ to the general public. That is about to change as we launch our ‘Above & Beyond’ guided tours. In small groups, you will be guided through the Cathedral from top to bottom by our expert guides, including a trip up to the top of the tower.
- Length: Approximately 2 hours
- Cost: £25 per person
