After 19 weeks of closed venues and cancelled tours due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Cavern City Tours is happy to announce the reopening of The Cavern Pub and Festival Restaurant doors from 1st August. The Cavern’s on-line shop will also be back in operation from this date with Cavern merchandise available to purchase once again from its website Cavernclub.com
Business as usual? Well, not quite! Like many other businesses, the Cavern has had to make some changes to the way it operates to ensure the safety of its staff and customers. Government and health guidelines have been followed to formulate plans to enable reopening. Visitors should access the ‘Know before you go’ section on the website www.cavernclub.com to read about what they can expect before visiting the two venues.
Cavern director Bill Heckle says “We are looking forward to welcoming customers back to some of our venues. Things look a little different in the world at the moment but we’re confident that The Cavern venues that are reopening will still provide the great atmosphere that they are renown for, even with social distancing measures in place.”
The Cavern Pub and Festival restaurant will initially open Friday to Sunday with a view to increasing trading hours. While the iconic Cavern Club and popular Beatles sight-seeing Magical Mystery Tour remain closed, work is taking place to enable reopening both very soon and further announcements will be made with details. However, dining customers of The Cavern Pub and Festival restaurant will be offered the exclusive opportunity to see the world famous Cavern Club as part of their visit by joining a Cavern tour, adapted to ensure social distancing. Guided tours operating between 2pm and 6pm from Friday to Sunday, will provide a unique viewpoint of the live music venue which is synonymous with the Beatles and a huge part of Liverpool’s music heritage.
As live music is still yet to return to indoor venues, the guided tours are an opportunity to see the Cavern in a new way, discovering the past and present of this working club set in the heart of Liverpool.
“Closing our doors and tours on 18th March was heartbreaking. We thank all of our staff and customers for patiently waiting for us, and now it’s time to get the Cavern back to where it’s always belonged.”
Thanks and we look forward to welcoming you all back,
The Cavern Directors

It has been a very difficult (nay impossible) few days in trying to make the correct decisions regarding our business and the pandemic facing our customers and valued work force alike. We have been following all advice issued by central and local government and have reached out to experts in the legal, financial and business sectors.
The decision we have taken is to close The Cavern Club, The Cavern Pub, Magical Mystery Tour, and The Cavern Festival Restaurant from Wednesday 18th March until Friday 3rd April , when it is planned to re-open. Our annual festivals Beatleweek, The MOD Weekender and International Pop Overthrow are all planned to take place as normal. Gigs that were due to be held during what is now effectively a closedown, namely The Doors Rising, Small Fakers, Classic Queen and Cavern Club Beatles WILL ALL be re-scheduled and details of how and when to re-book will be available soon. Of course, we apologise to anybody affected by the changes. The re-scheduled dates will be announced as and when ,we know it is possible to fulfil such obligations.
Everybody needs to remain patient but above all remain safe. We are a huge international family and we look forward to that moment when we can all successfully get back to our normal lives.
