One of Liverpool's most distinctive buildings, the Bluecoat is situated in the heart of the city centre in the busy Church Street retail area. Its elegant Queen Anne style architecture, cobbled front courtyard and beautiful 'secret garden' make it amongst the top visitor attractions in the region. This Grade 1 Listed building is an architectural gem and, almost 290 years old, is the oldest building in the city centre.
Interpretation
As the oldest building in Liverpool city centre and the oldest arts space of its kind in the UK, the Bluecoat has a long and intriguing history.
