A must see for music buffs - Must see for anyone who has an interest in British music thru the decades. Lots of displays, with artefacts and you also had the option to play instruments. They also had half hourly shows on the big screen of artists.

Fab Music experience! - Displays, pictures, videos, wardrobes — and interactive opportunities to dance to a decade, record a song and play an instrument ! From the ‘40s to today. Fab music experience! Don’t miss it. There are also little lockers which I saw on a he way out— had to carry my coat around.

Nostalgic, informative and interactive fun - Fantastic experience learning about the different eras of music and reliving some of my favourite classic songs, loving the nostalgia. Some fun interactive things to do as well (god help anyone who may have heard my singing in the booth lol?

Rocking and Rolling at the Museum - My wife and I went to the museum last week for the first time. It has a range of music covered and has a Live Aid exhibit right now. Definitely check it out especially anyone who grew up at this time. In the exhibits, there are clothing from various artists and handwritten notes. You can sing in a voice booth or play instruments. Fun for music lovers or history. Highly recommend.

A great family outing - We went here after a personal recommendation and it didnt disappoint. Plenty for me to read about the history of music in Britain from the early 1900s to present day. Lots of memorabilia to view for each era and the instrument area was amazing with my 14 and 9 year olds loving playing guitars, drums and even a singing booth. The staff were tremendous and with the ticket lasting a year, we are already planning our next visit.

Fun visit with lot of history - My wife and I visited the British Music Experience recently on short trip to Liverpool. We love music and this was a good one. Broken down into different eras and well put together. Special exhibition on Live Aid which was fun to see. Good price for your money and book on-line to get little discount. Very friendly staff plus there are breakout areas to sing, dance and play instruments. Good times and highly recommend.

Disappointing visit - Refused entry as a few minutes over last admission. Even told staff it was due to disability of family members makes daily outdoor trips a challenge to attend places. Staff member couldn’t care less Not a disability positive experience at all

Abysmal - A very bitter disappointment, do not bother going unless you are studying music or a Bob Geldof fanatic or you have enough money to waste!! £42 for a 10 minute experience with technology that doesn't work!!!! Its one tiny room with a couple of outfits in. Been fighting for at least a partial refund as it was just extortionate to be told its for charity when actually "very penny of your entry price goes into supporting British music by maintaining and improving our collection and supporting our charitable aims, including subsidising our wonderful education programme and supporting budding British artists." Doesn't sound very charitable to me!! Save your money and go to the Cavern Club or even better a free museum that's 4 storeys high is more enjoyable and you can make a donation only if you want to!!!
