A wonderful gallery in a beautiful setting. Full marks for accessibility, with external ramps going up to the main floor and down to the basement. The accessible toilet is in the basement, near the cafe, and further toilets on the main floor which are not wheelchair accessible. There is an internal lift, however. We went to see the May Morris exhibition, and I was impressed the case displays were able to accommodate my wheelchair underneath so I could see things up close. A member of staff brought me a booklet of all the labels, as some were hard to see from lower down. This was really kind. All the staff there are lovely. There is plenty of space for a wheelchair throughout the displays. The gallery has a fine collection of paintings, including Pre Raphaelites, a wonder range of ceramics, some fine sculptures and interesting furniture. There's also a cute shop in the basement with a few carefully curated things for sale. A beautiful old building too. There are sometimes events on, so keep an eye on their website.

I didn’t expect much before going, but it really surprised me in the best way. The building itself is beautiful, and inside there’s a great mix of paintings, sculptures and decorative art that you would normally expect in much bigger museums. The gallery was built by William Hesketh Lever for the people of Port Sunlight and in memory of his wife, Elizabeth. It was meant to bring art to everyday people, especially workers from the nearby village, and you can really feel that idea still today. One of the most interesting parts are the period rooms. They show what homes looked like in the past, with original furniture, decorations and details. It feels like stepping back in time and really helps you imagine how people lived years ago. There’s also a beautiful collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings, full of colour and detail, telling stories from myths, history and everyday life. Even if you’re not an art expert, they’re really easy to enjoy. Another surprise is the Chinese collection, with delicate ceramics and objects that show a completely different style and culture, something you might not expect to find here. What makes it even better is that entry is completely free, which is amazing for the quality of what you get. It’s calm, not too busy, and a great place to take your time and enjoy everything without rushing. There’s also a nice café, toilets, and a small shop if you want a souvenir. Parking is easy too, with spaces right outside, so the whole visit is simple and stress-free. Honestly, it’s a beautiful and unexpected place that’s well worth a visit.

Visited this excellent gallery for the first time on a day excursion, and was greatly impressed with both the architecture of the building and the wealth of beautiful exhibits inside. It's free to enter, but there's a £5 donation to help support its upkeep. The staff were both welcoming and informative. The architecture alone, with its vast dome and classical columns, was worth coming here to see! Very easy to find your way round, and there's a lift. The exhibits, ranging from 18th century furniture and French tapestries to Chinese porcelain and ancient Greek and Roman artefacts, are displayed in 30 rooms, mostly on the ground floor. The highlights for me were the pre-Raphaelite paintings in the main gallery, the period rooms, and especially the exquisite pottery and jewellery in the Wedgwood collection. Everything was clearly labelled and numbered, and there were panels with interesting additional facts to read. Downstairs, there's a gift shop, toilets and a spacious café serving drinks and light meals. I only had time for a chocolate cake and a latte, but they were both delicious! There's plenty of free parking around the gallery. You need about two hours to see everything, and nearer three if you want to study the art in detail. I'll definitely be back!

Even 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.

This was my first visit to The Lady Lever Art Gallery at Port Sunlight in Liverpool. What an amazing place! :) The galleries were full of really interesting artifacts and objects, and originally being from Stoke-on-Trent, (now living on Anglesey), I was really enthralled with the Wedgwood Pottery displays. Such a beautiful building as well, set in the lovely Port Sunlight garden estates area. The cafe, shop and toilet facilities were excellent, and the staff were really pleasant and hospitable too. All in all, a real gem of a place. Not to be missed if you are in Liverpool. Enjoy! :)
