Port Sunlight Museum & Garden Village Port Sunlight Village Trust, 23 King Georges Drive, Wirral CH62 5DX, United Kingdom

19th-century factory workers' model village in parkland, with museum on its history and a tea room.

Welcome to Port Sunlight, the village founded by ‘Soap King’ William Hesketh Lever in 1888. The village was built to house Lever’s ‘Sunlight Soap’ factory workers, but today is home to a fascinating museum, beautiful architecture, a world-class art gallery, stunning parkland and a thriving community.

At Port Sunlight our history is brought to life through trails, tours, re-enactments, displays and a fun events programme. However, there is also much to learn about our heritage through this site.
