This year’s UK Wedding Show Liverpool will be held in the beautiful and historic St. George’s Hall. The Grade I listed building will play host to an exciting collection of exhibitors, catering for every aspect of the Big Day.

Construction of the hall began in 1842 but its foundation stone was actually laid in 1838 to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria. The Hall was opened for public use in 1854 and its function as a community building was truly diverse; the building collectively acted as courtroom, ballroom and concert hall.

After a recent £23 million award-winning refurbishment project, the Hall now proudly stands in prime position as one of the countries most prolific cultural establishments as well as conducting community, civic and performing arts activities. The Hall has always been at the centre of community life in Liverpool; in 2008, St. George’s Hall hosted the ceremony for the ‘Capital of Culture People’s Opening’ and was attended by 65,000 people.

Architecturally, the Hall stands in a league of its own and is in possession of the largest tunnel vaulted ceiling in Europe. Magnificent red granite columns support the ceiling, complete with Victorian figures dedicated to art, science, fortitude and justice.

The Hall also boasts one of the greatest brick arches in the world and a priceless mosaic floor made up of 30,000 tiles. The Hall’s 7000-pipe concert organ is only second in size to that of the Albert Hall.

Visitors to St. George’s Hall can drop by the Heritage Centre, complete with the original prison cells that held Victorian criminals awaiting trial. Exhibitions, reconstructions and hands-on activities provide a greater understanding of the Hall and its place within the city of Liverpool.

So come and witness its magnificence yourself on the 19th or 20th September at the UK Wedding Show Liverpool. Register online before the 18th for an advance booking discount!
