British Guild of Tourist Guides | VisitLiverpool.com | The Beatles

🎸 Fans of The Beatles have been understandably excited at the announcement that a major new attraction is heading to Liverpool, replacing The Beatles Story with a museum four times the size. It opens in 2028, along with a Yellow Submarine-themed viewing experience at the top of St John's Beacon. 🟡

You certainly don't have to wait two years to explore the Fab Four's legacy in Merseyside though! Book one of today to show you where John, Paul, George, Ringo & friends started a musical revolution by the Mersey! 🎶

HAPPY WORLD TOURISM DAY from everyone at NWTGA - North West Tourist Guides Association! 🙂

🌍 HAPPY WORLD TOURISM DAY! 🌏

The British Guild of Tourist Guides would like to send our very best wishes to our friends, followers & fellow guides on this special day! 🎉

Since 1980, the UNESCO World Tourism Day has chosen 27th September to celebrate the power of travel to connect people, cultures and communities. ✈️🚍⛴️

This year’s theme — Digital Agenda and AI to Redesign Tourism — feels especially timely. ⏱️

AI can help visitors plan, discover & explore. AI can help businesses research, develop & promote. We still feel the real magic remains distinctly human though - the stories, the local knowledge & the personal connections that only time spent with a professional flesh & blood guide can bring! 🙂

Here’s to exploring the famous spots & hidden gems of the British Isles with one of ! 🧭

📅 On 26th September 1969, The Beatles released their final studio album, Abbey Road. Its cover, featuring the Fab Four striding across a zebra crossing, became one of the most iconic images in music history. 🎶

Want to walk in the footsteps of the band? From Liverpool to London, can bring the Beatles' legacy to life. 🚶‍♂️🎸

Excellent stuff! ;) 🎉

Congratulations to Blue Badge Tourist Guides Sean McGregor and Chris Cannon! 🎉

The pair have been part of a small team guiding tours inside the Great Hall at St George's Hall Liverpool — during the rare reveal of its world-renowned Victorian Minton encaustic tiled floor.

Normally hidden beneath a protective covering, the floor is only unveiled for special exhibitions every few years. It's made up of 30,000 hand-crafted tiles by Minton, the firm founded by Thomas Minton in the 1790s in Stoke-on-Trent — the manufacturing base for its famous ceramics and encaustic tiles until 2002.

Throughout the event, Chris & Sean — two of — helped guide thousands of visitors through the neoclassical hall and onto the historic tiles themselves - protective shoe coverings all round, obviously!

The showing ended yesterday (2nd September). The last one was back in 2023, when an estimated 20,000 visitors came to see the floor — and this year's event generated even more buzz, though final visitor numbers aren't in yet.

Well done, chaps! 👏
