St George's Hall, Liverpool

If the kids are fans of Harry Potter then St George's Hall is a must-see.

The historic venue and Liverpool landmark was featured in Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them and hosts a variety of paid and free events throughout the year.

From the scary Chamber of Horrors to Story Time with Santa, comedy, concerts and craft markets - there's plenty going on throughout the year including the unveiling the hall's Minton tiled floor.

Made up of more than 30,000 individual tiles it depicts the Liver Birds, the Roman god Neptune, sea nymphs, dolphins and tridents in what was the largest Minton pavement in the world when it was constructed.

It was covered up in the 1860s to allow dancing and events to take place there without damaging the floor beneath and is usually uncovered for a short time every year for visitors to see.
