Strawberry Field, the site immortalised by John Lennon in The Beatles hit, ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’, has opened its iconic red gates to the public for the first time in 2019. Previously the site of a Salvation Army children’s home where the young John Lennon played in the grounds, it will now serve as a unique addition to Beatles tourism. Complete with a visitor exhibition, community café, shop, gardens and - at its heart - a Steps to Work programme.Through the exhibition, visitors can learn more 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 ‘Imagine More’ Café is a place to socialise and enjoy delicious dishes, sourced locally. The shop stocks a wide range of authentic merchandise from handpicked suppliers; many of whom are local. The gardens offer a calm space for reflection and a place to explore spirituality.The site promotes responsible tourism through the Steps to Work programme, which helps young adults aged 18-25 with learning disabilities and other barriers to employment to learn new skills and gain work experience. The programme is fully-funded by the exhibition, café and shop sales.
