Strawberry Field and John Lennon School Tour

Visit the places where John Lennon did his dreaming, with our joint ticket offer for Calderstones School and Strawberry Field 

Enjoy a guided tour of Calderstones School (formerly Quarry Bank High School). Step inside the former school of John Lennon and explore the place where Beatles history began. See the original stage where John Lennon and The Quarrymen first performed and recreate John’s iconic school photo. 

From there, follow the very route John walked home from school to Strawberry Field, the place that inspired The Beatles hit song 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. Step beyond the famous gates for a media-guided tour to learn the history of the children's home and the influence it had on a young John Lennon. Explore the gardens where John sought solace as a child and see the piano upon which he composed the iconic peace anthem 'Imagine'.

All proceeds from this joint ticket offer will help fund Steps at Strawberry Field and the education of Calderstones School's students.

Tickets include a guided tour of Calderstones School and Strawberry Field's media-guided exhibition and garden tour. Tickets do not include transport so you will need to walk between the two sites or arrange your own transport.
