Walker Art Gallery is the national gallery of the North of England. It houses works by the likes of Rossetti, Yeames and Hockney, with one of the best collections of Pre-Raphaelite art in the world.

Set in Liverpool’s historic St George’s quarter, the building’s impressive entrance features two ornate marble sculptures of Raphael and Michelangelo, created by John Warrington Wood in the 1870s. Striking features of the interior include two grand staircases and rotunda located in the atrium, which is the perfect setting for a refined drinks reception for up to 200 guests. The multifunctional traditional and modern galleries, which span the upper floor of the building, also offer a variety of spaces to entertain guests.

Located next to Walker Art Gallery, County Sessions House is a non-public venue which is frequently used for events and filming. Built between 1882 and 1884, County Sessions House was used for court cases involving non-capital offences. Although its role as a courthouse ended in the 1970s, its features still include basement cells and two intact courtrooms, as well as a converted lecture theatre. Both County Sessions House and Walker Art Gallery are incredibly popular with filmmakers and production companies, and have been used as the backdrop for numerous blockbuster films and television programmes.
