See how four young lads from Liverpool were propelled to the dizzy heights of worldwide fame, to become the greatest band of all time. Hear their story unfold through the 'Living History' audio guide narrated by John Lennon's sister, Julia and view some amazing and rare Beatles memorabilia along the way.
Opening Times: open 7 days a week, all year (excluding 25/26 Dec). The Cavern Club, LiverpoolThe Cavern is the most famous club in the world! With this statement in mind it would be very easy for the club to sit back and live off the memories of times gone by. This is definitely not the case as the club is as vibrant and relevant to the latest generation of musicians as in any time in its history. With continuous development and investment to enable it to continue with this bold boast for many years to come. The front stage of the club is set under the famous arches that have provided the iconic images of the Beatles in the early 1960’s. This area is now supplemented with a state of the art sound system to guarantee that everyone in the venue can experience fully the first class performance on offer. This area of the club is generally open to the public and has a wide variety of entertainment scheduled on every night of the week and throughout the day on the weekends.
The back room (Big Stage), is the largest area of the club and is used for ticketed gigs and private functions. The sound system is second to none, making the room ideal for signed bands on the touring circuit or our regular unsigned nights. The layout of the room provides an intimate setting for acoustically based bands but it is also the ideal setting for indie/rock based shows.
