• Sefton Park - Strolling through the breathtaking Victorian haven of Sefton Park, it’s easy to understand why The Times recognized it in 2024 as one of the Best Places To Live in the UK. Sefton Park gracefully spans 235 acres of serene, picturesque landscapes and waterways.

This park is a true jewel in the city’s crown, boasting a rich history of its own. However, its significance as a home and source of inspiration for numerous musicians over the years is what truly stands out. Since its opening, it has served as a backdrop, an artist’s muse, and even today, as a live venue.

From Bjork to the Bunnymen, early Arctic Monkeys to the chart-topping hits of Atomic Kitten, and Africa Oyé - the UK’s largest free celebration of African Music and Culture - it’s all here. From George Melly, George Formby, and George Harrison to park design legend Edouard André, Jamie Webster, and The 1975. From Frankie to The Farm, from Love to The La’s, Pulp to The Stone Roses…you get the idea.

Not everything revolves around The Beatles (even if they do get a mention)!
