Fazil Babajev
★★★★★5 months agoEven though it’s a bit outside the centre, it’s easy to reach by train and the walk from the station is gorgeous. The building itself is stunning and well maintained. Staff were kind and the brochure map made it easy to explore properly. The collection is genuinely impressive, with sculptures and beautiful paintings throughout. The information boards were clear and helpful without overcomplicating things. Strongly recommended.
Rachel Jones
★★★★★4 months agoRecently visited the lady lever art gallery again. Never disappointed on my visit. There is a wide range to view in an absolutely stunning building in the equally stunning village of port sunlight. Plenty of parking available, wheelchair accessible. Lovely cafe and gift shop to also visit. Highly recommend a trip here and a stroll around the village for a fantastic day out.
