Liverpool: My First Holiday To The Home of The Beatles! 😊❤️🎭 🏢🏙️🌃🎸🎤🎶🍔🌭
Hello world! Welcome back to another blog. In this blog, I will be taking you through my trip of when I went to Liverpool for the first time between 12th-14th August 2026! From staying at Albert Dock to seeing family relatives, me and my dad did it all! So without further ado, here is what I got up to when me and my dad went to Liverpool.
Albert Dock:
Me and my dad stayed at the Premier Inn at Albert Dock. And wow it definitely still had the historical scenery from all those years ago, but that’s what makes it really special. As well as the hotel, we got to explore outside of it as well, which included all of the shops and restaurants we spotted. Not only was the view beautiful, but the cool air we had certainly made it less overwhelming. We also got to have some tasty fish and chips (even though I had scampi which was technically a fish) which I paid for.
City Centre:
On both the first and second day, we got to explore the wonderful city centre, whilst having a fish finger sandwich on the first day, and a toastie on the second day along with some doughnuts, which were all very tasty.
I even got to see the Beatles statue as seen below, and saw some wonderful singers in the city keeping the people entertained. We also got to witness a couple of people playing the piano that was around outside of the John Lewis, which was very nice to hear some lovely entertainment, and came across some amazing artifacts, which included a statue of Brian Epstein as seen below!
Mathew Street:
During the visit, me and my dad explored the city centre, where we stumbled across the legendary Mathew Street. Here was all things The Beatles, from the museum to a hair salon named “Hey Jude”, it really was a world of wonders. On the second day I went into the Beatles gift shop to get some memorabilia as seen below, and on the first day I got some pictures of statues of many famous people. One of which was Cilla Black (who fun fact her real name was Pricilla White), singer and host of the iconic “Blind Date”.
Cavern Club:
During my stay, I went to the iconic Cavern Club, where The Beatles first performed. Not only was it very cool after the heat we’ve all been enduring, but the atmosphere was insane (as we went at 3pm in the afternoon). We saw snippets of two performers called Sarah Deboe and The Left Backs, and the main act we watched was an act called Drew Palmer, and what an amazing voice and stage presence he had. From Beatles covers to 60s classics, he gave it all, and I couldn’t help but join in, and even got to speak to him for a couple of minutes after his act. So you could say my first visit to the most iconic club in the world was a magical one, and I now know where to go on my next visit to Liverpool.
The Beatles Story:
On day 2, me and my dad visited the Immersive experience known as The Beatles Story. This involves having a set of headphones and listening to the story of how the iconic band came to be, all right next to our hotel. I was stuck between that and going back to the Cavern Club again, but because the weather was as hotter than it was the day before (as back in Newark it was 34 degrees), we thought maybe it would’ve been better to go there so we can get a break from the heat. And I really enjoyed myself, as I got to find out some interesting facts about their brilliant career, with some of the pictures I took as seen below showing how Immersive it really is. I also highly recommend it if you want an activity to do and stay within the Albert Dock area (but will be moved to the City Centre in September 2028)!
Family BBQ:
To end the holiday on a high, me and my dad went to see some family for a BBQ. This was a really lovely moment, and seeing how much my cousin's baby has grown was quite emotional. She was also quite cheeky, but in the funniest way possible, and as long as you’re smiling, that’s good enough for me.
I don’t think I have any downsides to the trip per se, as going there has officially made me want to move there in the future. One of them was going to the Cavern Club more than once, as my first time in there unlocked a whole bunch of feelings which I never experienced before (which sounds cringy but it’s true). But I know that next time I come back (and there will be a next time too), I’ll definitely have to come back to the iconic venue for more than one visit, and also check out the pub and other music venues on Mathew Street as well. There were a couple of times where me and my dad lost our bearings, which did hold up a few of the things we did. But I think that’s also a lesson to show that next time we go on a father and daughter holiday together, I think I should be the one that should be in charge of the directions (lol).
And that is it on my trip to Liverpool for the first time! Let me know if you’ve ever been and what your favourite part of it is. And if you haven’t been, I hope this blog will give you a real insight as to what I did and give you suggestions on where to go.
