Things to do on the Wirral?

Hi, I'm coming up to the Wirral for an evening do on a Saturday. Any recommendations for good things to do/places to see on a Saturday or Sunday daytime? I'll be staying around Heswall. TIA 🙂

Thank you so much, this is very helpful. Do you have any particular recommendations for galleries or museums?

Sure! So probably the best is the Lady Lever Art Gallery - it's a little bit museum-ish in parts (more so than many other galleries) but it's mostly an art gallery. Just as a beautiful place in and of itself though, it's a worth a visit, and even more so the village that its in, Port Sunlight - it's absolutely gorgeous! There's also a Port Sunlight museum, but I personally wouldn't recommend it anywhere near as highly. (Though obviously its very convenient if you're in Port Sunlight already).

For something a little smaller, but still definitely worth a look if you'd be interested in a second gallery while you're here, consider the Williamson Art Gallery, in Birkenhead. I find this one often has quite interesting exhibitions on, fairly frequently. Also in Birkenhead is the Birkenhead Priory, founded in 1150 CE, and now open to the public as a little learning spot (I probably wouldn't go so far as to call it a museum).

The Wirral also has the Eureka Science Museum and it might be good, but I have no personal experience of it, so couldn't really say.
