Port Sunlight Museum sits within the historic model village built in 1888 for workers at the Lever Brothers' soap factory, telling the story of its founder William Lever and the community he created. Alongside the museum, you can explore the village's architecture, visit a world-class art gallery, wander parkland, and catch seasonal events such as history talks and exhibitions. It suits those interested in social history, heritage architecture, and family days out, with a learning programme that makes it popular with school groups. The museum is in Wirral, Merseyside, close to Bebington station just 0.3 miles away, and with 66 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it works well as part of a longer stay in the area.
