14 Then there is World Museum, in the St. George’s Quarter of the city, in which visitors can explore the natural world, ancient civilizations, marine life and even make a journey into space through the planetarium. Port Sunlight is a must-see when visiting the city region. The model village located in Wirral is packed with history, and the story of how it was built by William Hesketh Lever for the workers at the Sunlight Soap factory is wonderfully told at the Port Sunlight Museum. PERFORMANCE Liverpool’s performance spaces do a roaring trade in both laughter and tears, sometimes on the same night. The legendary Everyman theatre was completely rebuilt in 2014, winning the RIBA Stirling Prize for the UK’s best new building and, more importantly, adoring fans for its bold, intelligent and fun productions. Together with sister theatre Playhouse, it attracts some of the best companies in the business as well as developing local talent. The Empire is the largest theatre in Liverpool and stages the big musicals and spectacular shows, often straight from the West End. The Royal Court offers a range of long-running plays and one-off nights, and the Epstein Theatre is Grade II listed with a striking interior and whole host of entertainment of all varieties. The Unity Theatre, which plays host to some of the most innovative theatre and performance in the city, has been joined in the Georgian Quarter by the Hope Street Theatre – recently opened in the Masonic Hall, and adding yet another string to Liverpool’s theatrical bow. Elsewhere, the Floral Pavilion in New Brighton, the seaside resort of Southport’s Theatre and Convention Centre and St Helens Theatre Royal all have varied programmes of theatre, family shows, comedy and music. Each November Homotopia, the month-long LGBT+ arts festival, brings cutting-edge performance to the city. Immerse yourself in its eclectic mix of drama, music, workshops, drag and dance – with a headline draw being John Waters’s only UK show in <strong>2018</strong>. Regular comedy nights can be found everywhere in the city – with Comedy Central, Hot Water Comedy Club or Laughterhouse at The Slaughter House. Then there is the Echo Arena – in addition to music superstars it hosts all the big names of comedy. Over the Christmas period its pantomime is Peter Pan, with A Christmas Carol at the Everyman, Jack & the Beanstalk at the Empire and Aladdin at the Floral Pavilion amongst the other highlights.
