The Cavern Club

[donegal]

I may be going to Liverpool in the summer. I am a big Beatles fan can anyone tell me were in Liverpool is The Cavern Club and other peoples about the Beatles

I think the original club was demolished, but there's another of teh same name at the same address or close by?

The Cavern Club is still there in name, not sure if it was demolished. http://www.enjoyengland.com/campaign/city-culture/city/liverpool/about.aspx?bbcam=ov_uk&bbkid=cavern+club&x

Have a look at The Beatles Story, its by the Liver Building . The piano belonging to John is there ( I think George Michael owns it?). The Cavern Club is on Matthew Street but it is signposted lots anyway.

Also how about a trip to Woolton (10 minute bus ride) to see Strawberry Field. As you know it is an orphanage run by the Sally Army. There used to be a lovely cafe just down the road. You can get authentic "scouse" (like Irish stew), there.

Penny Lane is also not far away. But all the references have since gone. Again though I am sure there is still an air of nostalgia omnipresent.

Enjoy.

The Magical Mystery tour bus is the easiest way to see all of the Beatles landmarks then you can go back and spend more time at the ones which interest you most.

this is quite informative.

If you want to see what the Cavern was like they've built an exact replica in the Albert Dock which is on the waterfront and quite groovy place to visit in its own right (it was of course just docks in the Beatles days but who cares!!)
The replica Cavern is at the Beatles story - an exhibition about the Beatles which is supposed to be really good.
The real Cavern was demolished but you can still see where it was and go to the one they replaced it with - it's in Mathew St in the centre of town.
