Strawberry Field: Entry Ticket

Helping thousands of children and inspiring one of the Beatles' most-loved songs? Not a bad resume! Get a ticket for Strawberry Field's remarkable exhibition, and discover the local history behind the ruby-red gates of this famous Salvation Army building.

Use a handy multimedia guide to explore archival footage, admire photographs that document the history of the facility and its most famous young visitor – a must for Beatles fans!

Strawberry Field is also home to the 'Imagine More' Café, where guests can enjoy delicious locally sourced breakfast, afternoon tea, Sunday lunch, hot drinks, and more, in warm, welcoming indoor and outdoor seating areas.

Exciting things of note: Strawberry Field won The Small Visitor Attraction of the Year at the Liverpool City Region Tourism Awards and has also been granted Silver membership status at Green Tourism for the commitment to sustainability.

Music has returned to the Strawberry Field gardens, see site for the Summer Program. See music played on the unique bandstand, designed based on the drum featured on The Beatles’ iconic album cover, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and the bass drum shape a playful nod to the marching bands of The Salvation Army – created by renowned pop artist, James Wilkinson.

Before John Lennon was a world-famous musical icon, he was a curious young boy who liked to play in the garden of the nearby Strawberry Field children's home. On this self-guided tour, you'll explore this corner of cultural history, and learn about the place that inspired one of the brightest young artists of the 20th century.

From the famous red gates (which were once stolen, and promptly returned by the unsuspecting buyer), you'll tour the inside of the house, and learn about its decades-long mission to help the vulnerable youth of Liverpool. You'll also hear plenty about John Lennon's affinity for the building, and even explore the gardens where he used to play – and presumably come up with early versions of hit songs!
