About Port Sunlight Village

Port Sunlight is one of the finest industrial worker villages in the world. Built in 1888 by William Lever to house the factory workers at his soap factory, the village was a radical vision to provide a healthy and beautiful place for working class people to live and work.

The village is home to over 900 Grade II listed houses, stunning gardens and parkland, a fascinating museum, a world-class art gallery and a thriving community. No visit to the village is complete without delving into its story at award-winning Port Sunlight Museum, joining a special guided tour or exploring one of the UK's finest collections of fine and decorative art at Lady Lever Art Gallery.

Port Sunlight Village Trust (PSVT) is the charity responsible for preserving and promoting the village for everyone to enjoy. Many of the guides here have been commissioned by PSVT as part of their commitment to improving accessibility.
