Built to house workers from William Hesketh Lever’s soap factory, Port Sunlight was created as a model village designed to offer healthy accommodation with associated recreational and community facilities. Leverhulme historian Gavin Hunter will explore the vision of Port Sunlight and its development as an early exemplar of urban planning.
The SoapWorks venue is located in the Lyceum on Bridge Street, Port Sunlight CH62 4UP.
Free parking is available a short walk away at Port Sunlight Museum or you can park on the surrounding streets. Port Sunlight station (Merseyrail) is a two-minute walk away.
