To mark 450 years of Croxteth Hall, the historic home of the Earls of Sefton – a special Heritage Market will take place this weekend (20 and 21 September), from 11am to 4pm.
As part of Heritage Open Days, visitors can explore the Hall’s stunning interiors, with stalls set throughout its Tudor, Georgian, and Queen Anne-style rooms. It’s a unique opportunity to soak up the rich architecture and local history while browsing over 20 stalls selling handmade crafts, jewellery, artwork, food, and more.
Following the success of the seasonal artisan market at the Grade I listed St George’s Hall, which welcomed thousands of visitors, Liverpool City Halls continues its celebration of local craft and creativity this September. Guided tours of Croxteth Hall are now sold out, but visitors can still explore beyond the market with free self-led tours available between 11am and 4pm – no booking required.
Croxteth Hall has been beautifully preserved to reflect the elegance of its past. The self-led tour offers a chance to discover the opulent Drawing Room, the sweeping grand staircase, and the fascinating Servants’ Quarters tucked away below. Café 1575 (dog friendly) will be open from 11am to 4pm, serving a delightful selection of coffee, cakes, and lunch options. Located within The Library, it’s the perfect spot to relax after browsing the stalls and exploring the hall.
The nearest car park is located at L11 1EH, with accessible parking spaces available in the Conference Car Park via the Flint Drive entrance at L12 0HB.
Liverpool is home to many beloved markets, from the weekly Great Homer Street Market (Greatie Market) to a regular programme of farmers and craft markets. For a full list of dates and locations, visit the Council’s markets webpage.
Harry Doyle, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Culture, said:
“Croxteth Hall holds a special place in Liverpool’s story, and this Heritage Market is a brilliant way to celebrate 450 years of its legacy. I remember visiting the hall as a child – I loved the old Christmas market inside the Hall. It’s fantastic to see it come alive again with local makers and artists, filling its historic rooms.” “We’ve seen how much people value these spaces, not just for their beauty but for the memories they create. Events like this are about more than heritage, they’re about community, creativity, and making sure these incredible venues continue to thrive for generations to come.”
