Fort Perch Rock is a former defence installation situated at the mouth of Liverpool Bay in New Brighton. Built in the 1820s to defend the Port of Liverpool, its function has changed from defensive, to tourist attraction and museum. It has been used as a venue for musical concerts and has been listed as a Grade II* Listed Building.[2] The Fort's cafe "The Mess"[3] is open daily from 9am. A World War 2 escape room concept "Escape The Fort" runs within the fort. [4][5]
