St Luke's Church

Built in the early 1800s in the heart of Liverpool, St Luke’s Church is a former Anglican parish church which now lies in semi-ruins. For over a century it was used as both a church and a place to host concerts. But in May 1941, as the World War II Blitz tore through Liverpool, the roof was blasted clean off the church, leaving the surrounding area in ruins. To commemorate those who lost their lives in the war, the church has been left in ruins and a variety of events are held here throughout the year, including art markets, film screenings and musical performances.
