Celebrating the stunning Victorian beauty of Liverpool's Sefton Park and the role it has played in much of the music and art this incredible city has produced.
For decades artists, poets, writers and musicians have all found inspiration in this special place. They've recorded and performed here.
Echo and the Bunnymen lived here.

And there are many, many more stories to tell. One Beatle lived here, while the others played here as youngsters.
A world renowned Conductor grew up here. One of the biggest British stars of his time had his funeral here and 10,000 people came to pay their respects.

Sefton Park
Walking in and around the stunning Victorian oasis that is Sefton Park, you’ll see why it was named in 2024 by The Times as one of the Best Places To Live in the UK, Sefton Park stretches lazily across 235 acres of tranquil, stunning landscapes and waterways. It is a true gem in our city’s crown, with a fascinating history of it’s own, but the park’s role as home and inspiration to so many musicians over the years since it opened, as a backdrop, as artists’ muse and even today as a live venue is what we’re here to talk about. From Bjork to the Bunnymen, from early Arctic Monkeys to the smash hits of Atomic Kitten to Africa Oyé - The UK’s largest free celebration of African Music and Culture. It’s all here. From George Melly, George Formby and George Harrison to park design legend Edouard André, Jamie Webster and The 1975. From Frankie to The Farm. From to Love to The La’s, Pulp to The Stone Roses...you get the idea. Not everything's about The Beatles (even if we do mention them)!

Fanatically interesting and entertaining exploration of the musical landscape of Sefton Park, joining the dots between George Formby and Echo and the Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes and Courtney Love. Tourguide Paul was fun and likeable. A great way to spend an afternoon.
Great tour by Paul recently. He's really knowledgeable and passionate, with his enthusiasm shining through. I'm a fan of the early 80's Liverpool music scene however learnt a few nuggets of extra info, alongside some local history too - a great two hours well spent. Get yourselves booked and down there! 😎
I spent the glorious Bank Holiday Monday with five other guests on a two hour guided tour of the Seton Park area experiencing the history of the culture area. From the founding of St Michael's in the Hamlet to a side street that changed the history of music in the 1990s, via tales of The Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, Courtney Love, Jimmy McGovern, the creation of the park itself and ultimately the story of a cardigan that cost 80p in a Belgian shop and ended up being worth a fortune. The two hours flew by with Paul being a fantastic, entertaining, informative and insightful host. It's a great experience in a lovely area and I highly highly recommend it.
Paul really knows his stuff. I went on the tour as someone who grew up on the music of the early 80’s Liverpool post punk scene. But there were so many gems, and fascinating stories I was unaware of, and being told these “on location” really painted a picture. That’s not to say that’s all this tour is about, there’s history a plenty right from the off, St Michael’s Station, the church, St Charles on Aigburth Road, Lark Lane & Sefton Park itself. Landowners, Steel Magnates, Alternative Clergy, Artists, Musicians it’s all in there. Two hours flew by walking in a beautiful part of the city. Get yourselves booked on!
Paul has personality and friendliness in bags and was great at filling the sizeable gaps in my own knowledge of growing in the 80s and listening to and going to see Liverpool bands. We saw where The Bunnymen lived, where Nasher was working when he heard Relax was a hit, where Larks In the Parks was staged, all brought back lots of great memories. I thought I knew a lot but it was a real education. The 2-hour walk and talk was comfortable, very interesting and ended on the very popular Lark Lane. Great value for money.
Thank You, wonderful Paul! What a great walk, what a wide knowledge, what wonderful stories! From the Bunny-Vatican to 15-year-old Björk and the stolen Cardigan! Lovely walk we will not forget!
The Music & Art Tour of Sefton Park was an insightful and amusingly funny walk around a part of Liverpool I knew little about, until now. Paul our tour guide was a fantastic raconteur, who has vast knowledge of the area and revealed wonderful tales of the artists and musicians who inhabited the streets, at every turn. From George Formby to Echo & The Bunnymen, from George Melly to Julian Cope, there was a great story to tell. I would highly recommend without hesitation. If you want to know a bit more about the music, culture and history of the great city of Liverpool, this tour is essential.
Interesting and informative,Paul the guide knowledgeable and humerous.Wife local to the area able to share some fables and tales.
