16 September, 2016 - 0 Comments

This week sees a special one-off screening of the much-anticipated documentary film, The Beatles: Eight Days A Week - The Touring Years, from award-winning director, Ron Howard. But for those who want to keep the music alive after the credits finish rolling, there are a whole host of Beatles attractions to visit. From Paul McCartney and John Lennon's childhood homes in Liverpool to handwritten lyrics on display at the British Library, here are some of the top Beatles haunts to visit.

1. Liverpool and The Beatles

Evan Evans, London’s largest sightseeing company, offers a day trip exploring the historic city of Liverpool, home of the Beatles. The 'Liverpool and the Beatles tour' includes round-trip travel to Liverpool with Virgin Trains and tickets to The Beatles Story, where guests can experience the most sensational story the pop world has ever known. 

In the afternoon the 'Magical Mystery Tour' takes guests around all of the landmarks in the lives of the Fab Four, including their homes, schools, birthplaces, Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields and many other significant spots, before ending at the famous Cavern Club. The tour - which operates April to October - costs £138 per adult and £128 per child.

2. Abbey Road 

In London, The Beatles developed their craft at the iconic Abbey Road recording studio as well as making TV, radio and live performances, and socialising at the city’s many rocking hotspots. The capital provides the backdrop for all the LP covers from the first to the last; the locations for Hard Day's Night, Help and Magical Mystery Tour; even the Penny Lane promotional film, were largely shot in London.
