Introduction
St George's Hall stands on St George's Place in central Liverpool, beside Lime Street station, and is one of the nineteenth-century's leading neoclassical public buildings. It is noted for its stone colonnade, domed halls and richly decorated interiors, and was built to serve both as a concert hall and as law courts, long used for concerts, gatherings and judicial business. The Great Hall is known for its dome and organ, and there are smaller concert rooms and lower spaces that host performances, exhibitions and events. Its sober exterior and colonnade face the square, forming part of a group of public buildings with the nearby museum, library and station. Tours and performances vary with the programme, and some areas may close for works or events; check on-site and official information.
