performances by Boy George, a dance booth to practice iconic
routines and a special studio for learning to play the guitar and
drums.

3. The Beatles Story

Ready to indulge in some more Beatlemania? Head further along the

waterfront and step back in time at the Royal Albert Dock, an
immersive museum depicting the chronicles of the band. To make
the most of your visit, grab an audio guide and wind your way
through the different rooms, which recreate Abbey Studios, The
Casbah Club (the ‘birthplace of the Beatles’) and even a walk-through
yellow submarine. The nostalgia doesn’t end there: on display are
also Ringo Starr’s drum kit, handwritten song lyrics and John
Lennon’s glasses that he wore while penning Imagine.

4. Camp and Furnace

Stroll down Wapping towards the Baltic Triangle, Liverpool’s creative
district where abandoned warehouses have been transformed into
bars, restaurants and quirky event spaces. Here you’ll find the buzzy

Camp and Furnace, a live music space set to host this year’s Euroclub
— the official venue for Eurovision lovers to get together, party and
debate who’ll be getting their douze points. For nine nights (Friday 5
to Saturday 13 May), it’ll host a series of events to celebrate this
much-loved music contest, from a Eurovision-themed immersive
bingo to a screening of the live shows.

5. The Jacaranda

From the Baltic Triangle, head back down towards the Ropewalks
district to The Jacaranda; this historic, low-key pub is a must-see for
fans of live music and the Merseybeat phenomenon. Situated on the
bar-lined Slater Street, it was opened in 1958 by Allan Williams — the

first manager of The Beatles — and stands as one of the first post-war
coffee bars in Britain. It’s known for hosting performances by The
Beatles during their very early days, but today, it's home to brilliant
live music by local bands; a great menu of coffees, beers and cocktails
and a fun vinyl bar/store.
