The Liverpool Empire Theatre is celebrating its 100th Birthday with an exhibition at the Central Library in Liverpool.
Working with the iconic Liverpool theatre, Liverpool Record Office & Archives has dug into their own vaults, those of the Empire Theatre and into the memories and memorabilia of members of the public who answered the call on social meida for artefacts.
Freelance Cultural and Heritage Writer, Catherine Jones said:
“I’m absolutely delighted to be asked to help create this special exhibition marking the Liverpool Empire Theatre’s centenary.”
Working with the supportive and knowledgeable team at Liverpool Record Office to delve into the archives, I discovered so many fantastic stories from over the past 100 years… the main challenge was choosing what to leave out! The theatre is a special place for so many people – I hope everyone who visits the exhibition enjoys it and that it sparks their own trip down memory lane.”
Featuring historical information, photographs from across the last century, memorabilia connecting theatrical and musical legends and much more, the exhibition is open now and runs until Saturday April 26th 2025.
Empire Theatre Manager, Jeannie Clinton said:
“It’s been fantastic to work with Liverpool Record Office and Catherine Jones to create this exhibition.”
Highlighting the major part the theatre has played in the Liverpool City Region and beyond, entertaining the people of Liverpool over the past 100 years, is so rewarding. While we plan for the future as always, it was so interesting to have this opportunity to look back and learn more about the theatre’s history. We are sure it will evoke memories for all who visit the exhibition over the coming months.”
