Hulme Hall in Wirral

Visited recently had a good meal service great but even though all the heaters were on it was still cold in the hall.

Just popped in to send off a parcel and ended up having a coffee and a bacon roll..and a sausage for the dog. Nice place.

A lovely building took me back to my childhood school days 👌🏼went to a toy fair loads of parking and a great pub next door.

Beautiful old building, with a nice cafe. Very doggy friendly, and good cheap food and drink. Lovely cheerful staff, and they, without me asking, gave my little Labrador a sausage. Brill.

Excellent selection of beer and good time at the 18th Wirral beer festival

Beer festival, absolutely heaving, great atmosphere

Xmas gift fair venue. Nice old hall in a lovely location

This place has some history to do with the Beatles. Came to the Hulme hall just for Christmas bazaar for charity

Very good there was a Christmas craft fair to day I had a stall.

A historic landmark for Port Sunlight Village and the Wirral. The Beatles famously played here in their early days and many events and concerts take place at this lovely old hall. There are a variety of events that take place and there is a cafe open until early afternoon, if you’d like to visit when no events are planned.

Large venue in beautiful surroundings. Very friendly staff. Lovely cafe in Hall

The ambiance was good and neatly maintained 💜

Following the sacking of Pete Best, The Beatles were quick to recruit their new drummer. Ringo Starr wasn’t a stranger to the band, having stood in for them on several occasions in Hamburg and Liverpool, where he primarily played for Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. Ringo first played on the same bill as The Beatles on 13 March 1959, on the opening night of the Morgue Skiffle Cellar in Liverpool. He was playing with Al Caldwell’s Texans, and further down the bill were the Quarrymen. Caldwell later became Rory Storm; the Quarrymen, of course, were to become The Beatles. On 18 August 1962, for the first time, The Beatles were officially John, Paul, George and Ringo. Following a two-hour rehearsal they played at the Hulme Hall in Port Sunlight from 10pm. The occasion was the local horticultural society’s 17th annual dance. The capacity for Hulme Hall was 450 but, due to the popularity of The Beatles, it was unofficially enlarged to 500 when they performed. The other three dates they played at the venue were 7 July, and 6 and 27 October 1962.

They are working very hard to make the place great. Lovely building

Love this place full of history

Beautiful venue, very helpful staff. Went here as a guest, so I can't speak for the booking, scheduling, and coordination, but as a guest, I was very impressed. Lovely place.

I recommend it to Beatles fans, as the Beatles performed in this building in 1962! A special feature of the building is that its windows contain original leaded glass

In a gentle and scenic topography Hulme hall is a pleasant backwater with interesting collectables - but remember to bring money.

Lots of psychic readers and stalls of people I know Well with a visit

Great place easy to find lovely parking loads to see. They were placing bowls the day I went

Our children's prom was held here, all the staff were extremely helpful and the kids had a fantastic time.

Vintage & Collectables today - much fewer stalls. Some familiar faces some new. Still worth a visit. Possibly a Murano Seguso figure 🤔

Never been to port sunlight was our first time after having a walk around we came across Hulme Hall cafe decided to have a bite to eat and it literally was a bite ordered 2 coffees and hot dog and chips each sat outside the coffees took 15 minutes to come out there was only us that had ordered I got half a cup my partners was full had to ask for sugar she came out with some no teaspoons had to ask again food brought out on paper plates actual wow the ‘hot dog’ was on a crusted petit pain that you usually serve with soup French fries had to ask for sauces no cutlery offered took one bite out of sausage disgusting we upped and left disgusting food disgusting service would never go here again definitely one to avoid!!!

Train and toy fair with a new cafe fab

We had a Christmas party here for our supported living service. Kush was very helpful, food was delicious and everything went smoothly. We'll be celebrating here again in future :)

Went to a mind and health fayre , it was great, lots to do and buy

The building would benefit from some refurbishment. We went to a concert and the building was old from the flooring to the ceiling. Sound quality was not great neither a shame for the musicians.

Nice tour of the building where the Beatles played with Ringo star

If you visit Port Sunlight, and you must, it is essential that you learn about the history including this listed building. I usually attend a craft fair here twice a year but have also been to a party. This is a lovely venue for any event.

Quite a nice building although we were only in the main hall. Visited in an afternoon for a gathering/ meeting. There was a fault with the heating. The issue of hot drinks could have been organised better as over 150 people needed serving quickly.

Go often. Wish more of the things I get upto could be shown

We attended a book stall and it was really busy, there is a cafe here too which sold coffee in styrene cups. Love coming here for a good root

At the beer festival today. Been coming here for the last 5 years. Get there early as the first thing you need to do is grab a table. They have a huge selection of real ales, German beers, Belgium beers and a great collection of ciders. If that wasn't good enough they have pies, pasties and cakes. Also a large hot food range of curries and kebabs. All you need to do is bring along a good selection of your mates and you have the recipe for a fantastic day out.

What a shame this place has truly gone down hill since the new owners took over, what a dump and don't even get me started on the smell around the toilets, and hall 🤢🤮

lovely building set in beautiful Port Sunlight. However its looking bit tired on the inside, needs bit of a refurbishment/improvement to bring it up to what you would expect from such a lovely place

Excellent venue 1st class food & service. Was a lovely evening.

The hall is a part of a planned village in Port Sunlight, Wirral. It village was built to house Lever Brother's factory workers and their families, the Hall being part of the leisure facilities available. Unfortunately the Hall, whilst still being a Gem, has suffered with lack of investment and maintenance on the building and the surrounding area. It needs a great deal of money spent on it to bring it up to standard and fit for purpose. Then it would be a treasure to admire and use, as it should be, as a facility for the village community and guests.

Lovely venue and brilliantly preserved historical building suitable for many uses including fairs, weddings, performances.

Only went to give blood. Great ceiling and period features. Big car park and in a pretty village. I am slightly biased though.

Fabulous Christmas Lunch Party, great food and atmosphere.

Friendly staff at the antiques fair. Cafe also. Great Flea Market usually 1st Sunday of the month.

20 of us nhs workers had our christmas party here last night food was meant to be served at 8 the starters started coming out around 9pm by the time puddings were coming around at was past 10pm. The main meal was cold a couple of the girls didnt eat anything atall because of this. One of the girls took her custard back as it was stone cold and infront of her the chef poured burning hot custard all over a workers hand which burnt her and we found her upset in the toilets. The service was absolutely shocking and the dealing with the manager was absolutely shocking. The staff were doing there best under the conditions they were in. Weve been here a couple of years ago for a christmas do and loved it but since its changed hands we would 100% not be attending again we paid near £800 for all of us which is alot of money! Shocking service shocking food shocking management!

Went for Christmas night out 9/12/23 arrived just after 7pm food should have been served 8pm didn't start serving until 9.15pm food was very poor decor and decorations naff was not worth the money all in all a very poor night

Went here last night. I must say the place has gone down the drain. The service was awful. We wer still eating at 10.30. The food was cold. Wen we complained to the manager. He did no more than got one of the staff. Got hold of her hand and put some hot custard on it It burnt the poor girl and she was crying. It was disgusting 🫣 to c her treated like that. The hall was also freezing 🥶. I certainly won't be going again and I wudnt recommend to anyone.

This place has so much potential but looks very dated and was freezing cold too! Food was nice and drink prices very reasonable. Staff need to not sort cutlery when speeches going on and owner lurked in his outdoor coat!!! Please update sympathetically with the historic nature of the building and you'll have a fabulous venue.

Fantastic beautiful old building and great things on there

Absolutely lovely Hall, lots of period features retained, and all considered in very good presentable condition. Also great beer festival!

16th, beer festival was an absolute winner of a night out , fantastic atmosphere and a mind-blowing selection of beers. There was also a fantastic selection of food 👌. Staff on the night were fantastic, which made the event that much more fun ,

Beautiful hall with lots of original features and very well maintained.

Bit chilly where we were put but ok did alright

Went to craft fair there it was ok

Great location. Decent sized car park and plenty of public transport options locally. The halls facilities are superb, not a huge building, but full of interesting design and architectural features. I was at a training session with work colleagues about 350 people. There is plenty of space to move around. I would thoroughly recommend Hulme Hall to anyone. Go and see........

Beautiful venue, ample parking. Spacious with a variety of different sized rooms. Clean throughout.

Me and my wife had our wedding at Hulme Hall and we had such a wonderful day. Mr. Kush the chef was brilliant, we recevied only positive compliments from the wedding guests, so thank you again Kush!

Craft and gift fair today. Expected more home made stuff. Might do a table myself 😁. Nice cuppa and toasty from the cafe

I tried very delicious apple pie with custard cream! I also love fairs that take place there, such as flee market and toy fair!

We held my daughter wedding on Saturday 26 th august can only say what a fantastic day and evening at hulme hall .every request we made was accommodated by kusch and mayou and the team. The food by chef kusch was amazing a lot of hard work went into it as 134 guests in the day and 200 plus in the evening .the bar staff worked so hard as did the waiting on staff.everyone commented on how fantastic it was and can only say thanks to all the staff at hulme hall for helping my husband and myself give my daughter and her now husband a perfect day it was amazing x

Lovely venue. Bar staff were great and food excellent. Came for a wedding reception

Amazing wedding venue. Quite spacious and very easy parking. The staff were amazing too. Lovely 2 days in there

My understanding is that Ringo Starr played his first show with The Beatles in this venue, almost 50 years ago... worth finding out and sharing!

Lovely venue, in brilliant quaint village. Very attentive and friendly staff.

A lovely venue for special occasions, but as not being familiar to the area, locating the car park wasn't obvious, but a good size when found.

Gave blood here. Beautiful rooms.

I visited to donate blood. Hulme Hall is an atractive building. Toilets were very clean and they're plentiful.

Very nice. Some interesting things in there.

Supper time at the Antiques fair..

Went there to give blood donation. The Hall is looking a bit tired but there was some interesting historical memorabilia at the entrance. Worth a look if in Port Sunlight anyway

Attended craft fair 1.50£ entrance fee a bit high but enjoyed

Just been to the craft fair. Nice selection on offer. Good food at the cafe. Nice and clean everywhere.

The Craft and Gift Fair had plenty of interesting stalls and it is nice to get a drink and homemade cake.

Lovely building and village halls always cold though :( and path outside could be fixed as it’s all chipped away

Went to a flea market, nice place and in lovely Port Sunlight.

Situated in the heart of the Lever-built village of Port Sunlight, this lively old hall comes to life on a Sunday when a flea market, antiques fair or Craft & Gifts Fair take place. Even with lockdown restrictions in place its spacious inside and out, good parking and there's hot and cold snacks available from their food bar. Well worth a visit whether you're looking for a bargain or just to get out and about. Come and enjoy... but don't forget that face mask!

Used hulme hall to give blood. The place definitely needs some TLC

Very good nice hall went to a craft fair there

Nice and big hall went for a craft fayre which was packed with plenty of stalls

Now doing a Sunday roast when they are hosting other events. Less than £14 per head for top quality food and service. Already booked for next Sunday.

AVOID!!! Would give them no stars if it was possible. My mum had a wedding booked earlier in the year which could not go ahead due to covid lockdown. The venue had advised that they had to close but have subsequently refused to refund any money paid. They are very sneaky and only accept payments via bank transfer or cheque knowing that you cannot claim on a chargeback. At the moment they do not even respond to any emails or written communication. I would advise anyone thinking of booking anything here not to hand over any cash at all. As lockdown measures are re-introduced I very much doubt you will see your money again!!

The architecture is stunning, I'm a carpenter and joiner, the woodwork is impressive, as for a wedding venue I don't know as I attended a blood donation session 😁😁

It's great, the food area has moved into the first room giving great space and tables and chairs to sit on...the stalls are great too ..

A fantastic venue for Dinner dances. Highly recommended.

Great atmosphere on Christmas party night. Food good and prices for drinks very good.

Very grand and a great space for a special function

Good place for a function, spacious,warm,good service.disco was good,, but the band were not so good

Excellent place, visited many times over the years to attend craft fairs

Only go twice a year for Craft Stamper show.beautiful village too.used to play water polo there in an open air unheated pool back in the day.Great times

Great venue in historic Port Sunlight!

Great tour of the town built by the founder of Lever soap company for his employees. Still in use today. It also has a wonderful museum. With furniture and paintings of exquisite detail.
