Welcome to Port Sunlight

Port Sunlight is a picturesque village located in Merseyside, England. It was founded in 1888 by William Hesketh Lever, the founder of Lever Brothers, as a model village for his soap factory workers. The village was designed by architect William Owen and features a unique blend of architectural styles, including Arts and Crafts, Tudor Revival, and Edwardian Baroque. The village is known for its well-manicured gardens, tree-lined streets, and charming cottages, which have been preserved over the years.

One of the main attractions in Port Sunlight is the Lady Lever Art Gallery, which was founded by William Lever in memory of his wife. The gallery houses an impressive collection of paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts, including works by artists such as John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and William Holman Hunt. The gallery also features a collection of Wedgwood pottery and a recreated Georgian room, which gives visitors a glimpse into life in the 18th century.

Port Sunlight is also home to a number of community events throughout the year, including the Port Sunlight Village Festival, which takes place in September. The festival features live music, food and drink stalls, and a range of activities for all ages. Other events include the Port Sunlight Christmas Festival, which features a Christmas market and a lantern parade, and the Port Sunlight Summer Festival, which includes a funfair, live music, and a classic car show. Overall, Port Sunlight is a charming village that offers visitors a unique glimpse into the past, while also providing a range of modern amenities and attractions.
