Strawberry Field, the iconic site immortalised by John Lennon in The Beatles hit, ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’, opened its iconic red gates to the public for the first time in September 2019.

Previously the site of a Salvation Army children’s home where the young John Lennon played in the grounds, Strawberry Field now serves as a unique addition to Beatles tourism. The new site is home to an interactive visitor exhibition, café, shop, calm garden spaces for spiritual reflection and - at its heart - a Steps to Work programme for young adults with learning difficulties and other barriers to employment.

Strawberry Field is open for visitors to come and see what lies beyond the red gates. Entry to the cafe, shop and gardens is free. Tickets to our visitor experience should be booked in advance here.

Opening times

Please note that Strawberry Field will be closed on Monday 19 September as a mark of respect on the day of Her Majesty The Queen’s funeral.
