300 year old 'Bluecoat' (the pupils wore Bluecoats) School started by a Reverend for children and now an Art Gallery, Cafe, Shop's and Exhibition Centre. The end of the day for us so just went in for coffees and a quick look, definitely a place to come back to. Accessibility: mainly good, flagged path and ramp into the main entrance (electronic doors) avoiding the cobble stones. Ramps internally and a lift to the upper floors. Toilet on the ground floor for disabled. Some historical areas outside had steep steps up. Cafe: nice selection of cafe food, including for veggies. Garden Courtyard: with seating and tables looked inviting and relaxing. Exhibitions: we did not have time to go round, going in just for a coffee, what I did see looked interesting. Opportunities for students to display their work, including a young Yoko Ono in years gone by. Shops: we did not have time to go in as the end of the day for us. Staff: very friendly and helpful. Toilets: up a ramp on the ground floor, maybe others on the other floors but did not go up.

I enjoy revisiting this lovely place since my college days. On this occasion it was to sit in the rear courtyard in the sunshine chatting with friends amongst the sensory garden. Plenty of outdoor seating and benches enjoying a nice coffee, passing the time of day. Great accessible place for all and independent shops offering a touch of something different for the discerning customer. A small sanctuary in this thriving city, bliss

I love this place apart from the café vibe, there are so many art and craft things that you can enjoy in this place and it's also a good place to sit and spend time on your drawing here.

Description
Built in 1716–17 as a charity school, Bluecoat Chambers in School Lane is the oldest surviving building in central Liverpool, England. Following the Liverpool Blue Coat School's move to another site in 1906, the building was rented from 1907 onwards by the Sandon Studios Society.
