Port Sunlight Village Trust is an independent charitable trust responsible for preserving and promoting the village. 

With 130 acres of idyllic garden village to explore, you may not know where to start? Port Sunlight makes an ideal visitor destination thanks to its well-connected transport links, perfect for families and solo explorers alike. 

 

Port Sunlight Museum

Our museum tells the story of William Lever and his vision in creating this village for workers at his Sunlight Soap factory. Explore how the village developed over the years, from the working and living conditions to the charming architecture.

The museum is packed with tales and nostalgia from displays of vintage soap packaging to Ringo Starr’s first performance with the Beatles in the village in 1962. Through film shows, interactives, models and an array of intriguing artefacts, you can discover the tale of this inspirational village.

 

The Edwardian Worker’s Cottage

Next door to Port Sunlight Museum at Number 22, you can step inside a worker’s cottage and experience what everyday life was like in Port Sunlight in Edwardian times. Explore the recreated home of the Carr Family who were long-time tenants and worked in the Lever Brothers factory. The cottage is filled with artefacts and you’ll be given a warm welcome by our volunteers, who will share the story of this special house.
