Mayer Hall stands in The Village, Bebington on the Wirral. Joseph Mayer, a Liverpool goldsmith, antiquary and local philanthropist, built the hall around 1878 on the site of an earlier bakery. He intended it as a gift to the community for lectures, concerts, exhibitions and the display of art. The building formed part of a wider legacy that also included a free library and public park. After Mayer’s death in 1886 the hall continued as a cultural and civic space, later serving as a council chamber before returning to community use.
By day the hall remains a familiar local venue. After dark the atmosphere changes. Staff and visitors have reported unexplained footsteps crossing empty corridors and the main hall. Sudden cold spots appear without obvious cause. Voices have been heard in rooms that should be silent. Many describe the strong sensation of being watched, particularly from the balcony or stage area. Shadowy figures and light touches have also been noted during quiet periods.
DeadLive returns to Mayer Hall for a small-group ghost hunt on Saturday 14 November 2026. The investigation runs from 9pm until 2am. Guests receive a full safety briefing before exploring the building in controlled groups. The evening includes structured vigils, traditional methods and the use of paranormal investigation equipment. Beginners are welcome and no previous experience is required.
