Beatles Tribute Cruise celebrating 60th anniversary of famous ferry gig

Popular Mersey Ferries is running a beloved Beatles tribute cruise this autumn.

60 years ago this summer, The Beatles performed on the Mersey Ferries. In a bid to bring the moment back to life, the famed service will see local Beatles cover band The Paperback Writers performing - and tickets are already selling fast.

Ticket holders will be able to dance the night away to The Beatles' greatest hits, while overlooking spectacular views of Liverpool and Wirral's world-famous waterfront. The first two dates have already completely sold out, with just one date remaining - Saturday, October 1. You can book tickets here.

There'll be a fully licensed bar serving up an array of drinks to get passengers in the party mood, with a selection of hot and cold food also available. The cruise will last for two and a half hours.

Reflecting on the moment The Beatles performed on the Mersey Ferries decades ago, Mike McCartney, brother of Sir Paul McCartney, said: "Those were the days. When our kid and his mates were practising their music, there as sweating support to Acker Bilk on a packed 'Royal Iris Riverboat Shuffle', and me practising photography, trying to get a decent shot in the crowd with my twin lens Rollei Magic camera - magic days."

Tickets for The Beatles Tribute Evening Cruise cost £20 and can be purchased here. For further details on all Mersey Ferry products and experiences, click here.
