Visitors to Liverpool's St Georges Hall will get the rare opportunity to view the spectacular Grade I listed building in all of its remarkable glory this April, as its famous Minton Tiled flooring will be unveiled from Thursday 13th to Wednesday 19th April 2017.

Amongst the world's finest examples of an encaustic tiled floor, the handcrafted mosaic of over 30,000 tiles were concealed in the 1860s to allow dancing and events to take place at the prestigious venue.

The intricate and exquisite patterned tiled flooring depicts the Liver Birds, the Roman god Neptune, sea nymphs, dolphins and tridents in what was the largest Minton pavement in the world when first constructed.

St George's Hall Manager, Alan Smith said: "The fantastic Minton Tiles at St George's Hall are always hugely popular with tourists and residents each time they are revealed. I would urge anyone who hasn't yet seen them to go along to St George's Hall and see these magnificent tiles."

The Hall will be open daily from 10am-5pm (last entry 4pm) during which time visitors will be able to view Liverpool's hidden gem and gaze again at the site of the Great Hall in all its original grandeur.

City Historian Steve Binns will also be available daily at 11am, 12pm, 2pm and 3pm to provide a detailed insight into the history of The Great Hall.

One-hour guided Walk the Floor Tours will be available each day from 10am to 11am and 4pm to 5pm enabling visitors to learn about the history of the Hall and the famous flooring and access and walk on the World-renowned Minton Tiled floor.

And why not enjoy a night on the tiles? Each evening from 6pm-9pm guests will be able to enjoy the rare privilege of being able to 'walk' on the world heritage site floor whilst enjoying a complimentary glass of fizz on purchase of a ticket.

So be sure not to miss this rare opportunity to witness one of the city's most iconic and grand buildings in all of its original splendour when its famous Minton Tiled flooring is unveiled from Thursday 13th to Wednesday 19th April.
