'Imagine' Piano

The world-famous piano that John Lennon used to compose and record one of the great peace anthems of the 20th century is on loan to our exhibition, courtesy of the estate of the late George Michael.

Strawberry Field, the iconic site immortalised by The Beatles and John Lennon, now serves as a unique addition to Beatles tourism, with responsible tourism at its heart.

Through our exhibition, learn about the history of the site; including stories from the former children’s home and about how John came to write the famous song. The café is a place to socialise and enjoy delicious dishes and the shop stocks a wide range of authentic merchandise. The gardens, where a young John Lennon played as a child, offer a calm space for reflection.

All sales through the exhibition, café and shop fund a the Steps at Strawberry Field programmes, aimed at those with learning difficulties or other barriers to employment.

"It’s a wonderful idea that The Salvation Army is going to cultivate youngsters in the precious soil of Strawberry Field."
