The opening hours are 12 noon to 4 pm, with guided tours to the top of the lighthouse leaving roughly every half hour from 12.15 pm until the last tour at 3:15 pm.

The ground floor of Leasowe Lighthouse is free to enter where there is a small café serving tea, coffee, cold drinks, snacks etc. along with small gifts and information leaflets.

To visit the rest of the building and climb to the top you will need a ticket for one of our regular guided tours.  These cost £5 for adults and £2.50 for children. Tickets are available for purchase at the lighthouse on the day of your visit, where you will be allocated the next available tour.  Please make sure that your child is at least 1.06 metres tall as smaller children are not allowed to climb the spiral stairs so cannot take the tour.

Please note: it is not possible for children and babies (or dogs) to be carried up or down the stairs. Adults and children should wear flat shoes (no stiletto heels please) as the cast iron spiral staircase has steps that may cause problems for other types of shoe.

The first tour starts at around 12:15 pm and the last tour leaves the ground floor at 3:15 pm so please make sure you are in the building and have purchased your ticket before then. Tours last for around 40 minutes.

Before the tour starts you will be given a short talk by your guide about the building health and safety procedures; please pay careful attention to this.
