The Liverpool Empire on Lime Street opened in its present form in 1925 and, with around 2,350 seats, is the largest two-tier theatre in the UK. It is where the big touring musicals come to Liverpool, alongside ballet, opera, comedy and the Christmas panto.
Across the road from St George’s Hall and Lime Street station, it is right in the busiest part of the city centre. We drive you from home, drop you near the doors and collect you after the curtain call, so the evening ends without a hunt for the car park or a late train.
