The Beatles Story

All you knew about the Beatles and lots you probably didn't under one roof. Exhibition is well laid out and the audio guide perfect for making your own pace. Have taken half a star off because of minor issues with the wheelchair lift access and the fact that the internal lift was out of action so couldn't get to shop. Staff were excellent and made up for these little hiccups

The Beatles story is a must visit for a fan of the group or for younger people who love there music today, The exhibition is in the Britannia pavilion at the World Famous Albert Dock. As you enter and pay you will be given an audio device that you use on your way round the exhibition that helps explain the items you see this is available in a range of languages. The device also includes videos and photos that are in addition to the section you are in during you tour of the exhibition. It took about 1hour 45 minutes to get round as we listened to all of the items as well as viewed the video and photos etc. Having visited this venue a number of years ago was pleased to see that a number of different items were on display this time

I contacted The Beatles Story in advance of my visit, to let them know when I plan to go, and also for my own peace of mind. The only thing they asked is that you call them on the day to check that their outdoor lift is working. On the day I visited, the lift was working and everything went smoothly. The tour takes you from the beginning to the end of The Beatles, the sets, outfits and the stories of each member after the band separated. You wear a headset and receive a little box attached to it that as your tour guide, each set has its own number corresponding to the audio. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, it was imaginative and a fantastic way to lay out the story.
