Getting to the event
We have made a host of travel information available on our website which we hope you will find helpful, and encourage you to plan your visit in an environmentally-friendly way.
We’re centrally-located with excellent public transport links. See our Plan Your Visit page to view the numerous options available – including details on bus routes, directions from Liverpool train stations, and more.
-
When should I arrive?
Plan to arrive 30 minutes before concert time, so you can store your bags and buggies, buy any snacks and drinks, find your seats and get settled before the concert begins.
Lift access to the Grand Circle, Upper Circle and Rear Circle is prohibited until the auditorium doors open. However, the Grand Foyer Bar will be accessible via lift.
Please be aware that ticket holders are only allowed access in to the building once all pre-concert fire and safety checks have been completed and the stewards are in position to check tickets. Entry is not allowed without a valid ticket.
If you are meeting someone who has your ticket, please arrange to meet at a location outside the building.
-
What are your house rules?
We have standard house rules for all events at Liverpool Philharmonic venues. You can find a full list of house rules on our Plan your visit page.

Do you have a restaurant or bar?
Our Grand Foyer Bar (lift accessible) is open for snacks and drinks from one hour prior to each performance. Alternatively you can order drinks in advance to enjoy at your seat.
-
Can I bring food and drink?
Food and/or beverages which have not been purchased on the premises at Liverpool Philharmonic will not be permitted inside the building - except for bottled water or items which are required for medical reasons. If you require an item for medical reasons, please speak to the Stewards upon arrival who will be happy to help. Please be aware that we are unable to store prohibited food or beverage items on your behalf for later collection.
Only snacks bought from our cloakroom or Grand Foyer Bar will be allowed into the auditorium.

Do you have a cloakroom?
Our cloakroom is located on the left-hand side of the foyer, next to the stairs. There is a charge of £1 per item.
Large bags, rucksacks and suitcases are not permitted in the cloakroom. Please avoid bringing large bags with you, as this could delay your entrance into the Hall.
