A new Brian Epstein statue
A new Brian Epstein statue is due to be installed in Liverpool today to mark ‘Beatleweek’.
The 2022 International Beatleweek runs from August 24- August 30 with the popular Beatleweek Festival held at The Cavern Club as well as other celebrations throughout the city.
Epstein, who would have been 88, became The Beatles manager in 1961 after seeing them play in the Cavern Club. The new statue will celebrate his legacy, and stand at the corner of Button Street and Whitechapel.

Born in Liverpool in 1934, Epstein also played a key role in the city’s wider music scene, including Gerry and the Pacemakers, Cilla Black, Billy J Kramer and the Dakotas, The Moody Blues and The Chants.
As a gay man living at time when homosexuality was illegal, Epstein faced many personal challenges. This will be the first statue of an LGBTQ+ figure in Liverpool city centre.
It will be sculpted by Andy Edwards, also responsible for The Fab Four statue of John, Paul, George and Ringo at Liverpool’s Pier Head. Made from bronze by Castle Foundry of Liverpool, the statue will measure 1.94m.
