Explore Liverpool through the places behind its cultural stories. Start with The Beatles, Peaky Blinders, The Wizarding World, then follow the connections between the works, people and locations in this collection. Use the map to see how the documented locations fit together, and browse the place cards for the story behind each stop. A production location and the place it represents on screen can be different; each connection keeps those details separate. For something happening now, follow the official events programme and confirm dates and access with the organiser before travelling. Build your own route by choosing the stories that interest you most. Return to explore new stories as the collection grows.
