St Georges Hall unveils its exquisite minton tile floor

The official unveiling of the famous Minton Tile Floor in The Great Hall of St. George’s Hall, Liverpool, will take place on Friday 7th August.

Amongst the world’s finest examples of an encaustic tiled floor, the St. George’s Hall hand-crafted mosaic of more than 30,000 tiles were concealed in the 1860s to allow dancing and events at the prestigious venue. The intricate and exquisite patterned tiled flooring depict the Liver Birds, the Roman god Neptune, sea nymphs, dolphins and tridents in what was the largest Minton pavement in the world when reconstructed.

The Hall will be open daily to the public from 10am-5pm (last entry 4pm) where visitors will be able to view Liverpool’s hidden gem and gaze again at the site of the Great Hall in all its original grandeur. There will also be Walk the Floor Tours available each day at 10am-11am and 4pm-5pm and A Night on the Tiles each evening from 6pm-9pm, where guests will be able to enjoy the rare privilege of being able to “walk” on the world heritage site floor.

Be sure not to miss this rare opportunity to walk the floor and witness one of the city’s most iconic and grand buildings in all of its original splendour.
