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.

There is amazing information about the Bluecoat’s heritage in our rich and interesting archive and we are constantly finding out new details about the place from people who have worked and visited the Bluecoat over the years.

When we reopen in 2008, we will be giving visitors the opportunity to discover this incredible heritage as they explore the Bluecoat.
