International Beatleweek runs from Wednesday 26 August to Tuesday 1 September 2026, across the Cavern Club, the Adelphi, Liverpool Philharmonic Hall, the Dome, the Epstein Theatre, St Peter's Tavern and Port Sunlight on the Wirral.
If you have left it late, the picture is mixed. Advance Cavern Club tickets have sold out for six of the seven days. But there is still a good week to be had for well under £100, and one route in that most write-ups miss entirely.
Prices and availability were checked against the organiser on 16 August 2026. This is the fastest-moving part of the festival, so check again before you buy.
The short version
- Advance Cavern tickets are gone for Wednesday through Monday. Only Tuesday 1 September is still on sale, at £10.
- You can still pay £10 on the door at the Cavern for an all day and night pass during the festival. Capacity permitting, so go early.
- The Cavern Pub opposite is free, all week, with its own live music.
- Convention Day on Sunday is £25 and is the best single ticket if you only buy one.
- Four late-night parties at the Adelphi are £20 each and finish around 4am.
- Packages run £120 to £325 and include free Cavern entry, which is where the advance tickets went.
- A decent week is possible for about £55. There is a plan for that below.
What you can still buy individually
These were all on sale on the organiser's 2026 events and tickets page when we checked.
| Event | When | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Friday Late Night Party, Adelphi | Fri 28 Aug, 11pm | £20 |
| Saturday Late Night Party, Adelphi | Sat 29 Aug, 11pm | £20 |
| Beatles Convention Day, Adelphi | Sun 30 Aug, from 11am | £25 adult, £10 age 12 to 17 |

Several of the bigger concerts are not sold separately at all. Friday and Saturday afternoon and evening, Monday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon are package only, which is worth knowing before you plan a day around one.
The £10 door pass most people miss
This is the useful bit.
Advance Cavern tickets are sold through the Beatleweek site and have gone for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. That reads like the door is shut. It is not.
The Cavern's own opening times and prices page states that its all day and night pass during Beatleweek is £10, paid on the door. Advance and door are two different things, and only one of them has sold out.
It is capacity-dependent, so this is not a guarantee. On the busiest days, which will be Friday to Sunday, turning up at 11am is a different proposition from turning up at 7pm.
The Cavern Pub is free all week
Directly opposite the Club on Mathew Street, the Cavern Pub says admission is always free, with its own programme of live performances. It is a listed Beatleweek venue in its own right.
For anyone local who wants the atmosphere without committing to a ticket, that is the answer. You can spend an evening on Mathew Street during Beatleweek and spend nothing at the door.
Convention Day: the best single ticket
If you buy one thing, buy this.
Sunday 30 August, from 11am at the Adelphi. £25 for adults, £10 for ages 12 to 17.
The Annual Beatles Convention fills the hotel with live music, guest speakers, authors and historians, and a marketplace of vinyl, memorabilia, art and collectibles. It is the one day that works as a whole day out rather than a single show.
The wider 2026 lineup includes Freda Kelly, Gary Astridge and the Beatles author Ken Womack, among dozens of performers.
The late-night parties
After the evening concerts finish, the Adelphi takes over. There are four, on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and each is £20 on an individual ticket.
Music runs across several rooms, including Waves Bar, Cromptons and the Crosby Suites, and the listing gives a finish of approximately 4am.
These are the easiest part of the festival to dip into without a package, which makes them the obvious choice if you live here and fancy one big night rather than a week.
