LIVERPOOL GUIDE Independent ideas for your day out

History / LIVERPOOL

Speke Hall

Give this Tudor house and its gardens a separate outing in south Liverpool. The half-timbered building offers a change from dockside architecture, while the estate gives the visit an outdoor component. Choose a house-opening day if the interiors are your priority, or make an intentional grounds visit instead.

Before you go

Check the house calendar separately from the grounds: interiors are seasonal and do not open every day. If you are using public transport, allow for the walk beyond the bus stop as well as the ride.

The practical details

Where to find it
The Walk, Speke, Liverpool L24 1XD, beside Liverpool Airport. This remains within Liverpool.
Directions and arrival information ↗
Tickets and booking
Ordinary visits currently do not need advance booking. Check grounds-only versus house-and-grounds admission and membership eligibility. At the September 2026 check, the published house season runs Wednesday–Sunday until 1 November; verify your own date.
Access and getting around
The house has level ground-floor entry, but its first floor is reached by stairs. Garden paths vary and some gradients are steep; mobility scooters are not allowed inside the house. Ask ahead about loan equipment.
Official access information ↗
Visiting with children
Play areas and grounds can make this a substantial family outing without touring every room. Bring suitable outdoor clothing; toilets and baby changing are listed at Home Farm and the Dairy Courtyard.

Practical information checked 14 September 2026. Confirm anything essential to your visit with the venue.

Make it part of your day

Allow 3–4 hours for the visit, plus travel and breaks. This is a suggested planning allowance; opening times, access and availability may affect your plans.
