Strawberry Field, the site immortalised by John Lennon in The Beatles hit, ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’, opened its iconic red gates to the public for the first time in 2019. Previously the site of a Salvation Army children’s home where the young John Lennon played in the grounds, it now serves as a unique addition to Beatles tourism. Complete with an interactive visitor exhibition, café, shop, gardens and - at its heart – ‘Steps at Strawberry Field’.

Through the exhibition, visitors can learn more about the history of the site; including stories from the former children’s home and about how John came to write the famous song. The ‘Imagine More’ Café is a place to socialise and enjoy delicious dishes, sourced locally. The shop stocks a wide range of authentic merchandise from handpicked suppliers; many of whom are local. The gardens offer a calm space for reflection and a place to explore spirituality.
