St George’s Hall is making a ‘masterpiece’ feature available to the public again.
The iconic Liverpool landmark will make its architecturally stunning Minton tile floor available for an extended viewing between July 17 and September 2 this year.
Usually protected by a wooden covering to preserve its intricate craftsmanship, the Minton floor is one of the finest examples of Victorian design in the world.
Comprising 30,000 hand crafted tiles, the mosaic is renowned for its captivating rich colours, classical motifs and remarkable level of preservation.
Over 20,000 visitors saw the Minton tiles when they were last revealed in 2023.
Bosses at the Grade I-listed building have expanded their event programme to include immersive tours, creative workshops and local musicians in the event.
Brad Kella, the Liverpool-born winner of Channel 4’s The Piano, is the first artist confirmed to be featuring in the wide-ranging spectacle.
Alongside the floor reveal, the Stable Gallery will host a special exhibition created in partnership with Central Library, exploring the archives of St George’s Hall and shining a light on the legacy of the Hall’s first official organist, W. T. Best.
All ticket sales directly support the upkeep of St George’s Hall, with donations also going directly to the St George’s Hall Charitable Trust, which works to preserve the Hall for future generations, as well as the restoration of the Willis Organ.
Angie Redhead, Culture Liverpool’s head of operations, said: “St George’s Hall has many amazing features, but the Minton floor is the one that truly takes people’s breath away.
“This extended summer reveal gives visitors more time than ever to enjoy it, alongside an event programme that has something for everyone to enjoy from music to mindfulness and from history to Yoga.
“And I love that Brad Kella is as excited as we are to perform in our beautiful Concert Room.”
