Loved every moment of Port Sunlight. Visited the museum, the house, soap world and Lady Lever’s Art Gallery all for less than £20! Brilliant day and such a beautiful little village

It's a really good place to take the kids. Even if they get bored because of the history of the town. But i enjoyed very much

Really interesting to hear and read the history of the village. The admission price also includes admission to the cottage next door which offers an insight into how some of the employees would have lived. Also included is the soap museum which is very interactive and more geared up for children.

Absolutely amazing place. Museum with friendly, helpful staff and period cottage to visit. Garden centre providing great food, coffee and snacks. Well worth a visit, we will be back!

Very interesting piece of social history, especially the walking tour. Museum is good, art gallery has some very fine furniture, ceramics and sculptures, with a few fine paintings amongst the rather ordinary. Would prefer more insight into factory processes hence 4 stars

It’s a shame one can’t leave a review of Port Sunlight in its entirety since the whole village is arguably a living museum. Founded by Lever in 1888 in a major act of philanthropy aimed at improving the health and welfare of staff at the Lever's factory. Although founded in the 19th C the majority of the houses and buildings date from the 20th C and houses are even being added in 2021 (in keeping with surrounding buildings). There’s a museum and art gallery but the greatest pleasure is just wandering through the village.

Nice place to visit and spend a few hours. The Soap Works are not worth bothering with though as just a few displays really.

I have visited the museum previously but due to Covid-19 was shut on our last visit, but when it's open do go there are alot of artifacts that are of interest from around the world.We decided to walk around Port Sunlight village and its beautifully kept with friendly residents, there are some well stocked well managed coffee hubs where you can sit outside and be refreshed in between walks.

Excellent place to visit, especially on a nice day when you can wander around the village. The museum is really well-run, with modern exhibitions, a good shop, nice cafe and friendly, helpful staff. There are accessible toilets and a lift to the cafe on the first floor. I'd particularly recommend the village tours, starting at the museum. The volunteers leading them really know their stuff, and your ticket includes the museum attractions, so you can start off with the tour and then learn more with the film, models and Edwardian Cottage. Altogether, a top day out and a little jewel of a place.
