One of the finest neo-classical buildings in the world, Liverpool’s St George’s Hall has provided a backdrop for multiple film and TV productions… now it will offer visitors a series of guided movie tours. Tony McDonough reports
Liverpool’s magnificent St George’s Hall is to offer visitors guided tours illustrating how the Grade I-listed neo-classical building has been used for multiple film and TV productions.
These new film tours will invite visitors to step behind the scenes of some of cinema and television’s most celebrated productions. Curated in collaboration with Liverpool Film Office, the tours will be led by the Hall’s expert guides.
They will take people on an “immersive journey” through the iconic spaces that have doubled as everything from the streets of Prohibition-era Birmingham to the world of blockbuster fantasy and gritty period drama.
Productions filmed at St George’s Hall include Peaky Blinders, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The House of Guinness, Head of State and many more.
These new tours follow the recent publication of the Liverpool Film Office’s Impact Report which revealed record growth in the Liverpool City Region’s film and TV industry since 2019.
There have been more than 1,600 productions investing an estimated £150m into the local economy, creating over 5.400 full-time equivalent jobs and supporting local business.
St George’s Hall’s grand interiors, eerie cells, storied courtrooms and striking exterior have proven an irresistible backdrop for filmmakers time and again.
