By Bus

By train

The nearest railway stations to Strawberry Field are Liverpool South Parkway and West Allerton. From there it a 30-45 minute walk. If you are travelling to Strawberry Field from another city, we would recommend getting a train to Liverpool Lime Street followed by the 76 bus to Menlove Ave.

On foot

If you don't live far from Strawberry Field, we encourage you to leave the car at home and walk to us. We are a relatively long walk from Liverpool city centre, but if you like to get around on foot, this route to Strawberry Field stops at many must-see Beatles sites. You may also enjoy our self-guided Woolton Walking Tour.

Using energy and water responsibly

We make every effort to reduce our energy and water usage at Strawberry Field. Many of our lights are on motion sensors and 32% of our energy is supplied by solar panels. Our toilets use water-saving dual flushes and our taps are operated using automatic motion sensors. We have both electric hand dryers and paper towels available, but please only take what you need. 

Reduce waste

Single-use items

We are trying to reduce our use of single-use items. We have composable take-away coffee cups and lids available, which have been sourced from Vegware, but please do try and use your own reusable coffee cups and refillable water bottles where possible.

Bin your litter

There are plenty of rubbish bins on site at Strawberry Field, so please always bin your litter. We work with Central Waste Liverpool and Veolia, who collect our waste and sort it offsite.

Go paperless

Tickets to our visitor exhibition and Strawberry Field events are available online. Please avoid printing tickets or email confirmations where possible.

Eat green

Eating a vegetarian or vegan diet can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Plant-based foods generally have a lower carbon footprint than animal-based products due to reduced greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and land use. There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options available in the Imagine More cafe to help you 'eat green'.

Encourage the next generation
