Port Sunlight Museum

The new Port Sunlight Museum has exhibits for all types of visitor, including a reconstruction parlour room, state-of-the-art audio-visuals and interactives, a model of the village and a typical Port Sunlight house, and historical items from the village's past.

You can:

Meet the village's creator 'Soap King' William Hesketh Lever and discover his vision for the village and its residents;

Find out about the architects who designed the houses, principal buildings and landscapes, and what influenced them;

And experience what it was like to live and work here during the Edwardian and Victorian periods and encounter characters from the village's past!

The village itself is certainly worth a stroll around too, it has an interesting history and the architecture is gorgeous; you can purchase a self guided trail of the Village from Port Sunlight Museum for just £1. Activity sheets for children aged 5 to 12 are also available.

Guided walking tours for general visitors are on offer during the high season too.
