Each year on his birthday since 2008, Ringo invites people everywhere to pause at 12 noon local time to say, think, or post “Peace and Love” as a collective moment of global unity. This heartfelt tradition is now recognised worldwide as a simple yet powerful gesture of kindness and hope.
At The Beatles Story in Liverpool, fans and visitors are encouraged to take part in this uplifting initiative. Attendees are invited to gather outside the museum entrance at The Royal Albert Dock – and, together, a special “Peace and Love” moment will be filmed to be shared on Ringo’s official Facebook page as part of the international celebration.

This free event is just one part of The Beatles Story’s packed summer line-up. With discounted Summer Saver tickets available until 1st September, and free craft workshops for families in the Discovery Zone, there’s never been a better time to visit The Beatles Story at the Royal Albert Dock!
First launched following last year’s birthday event, The Beatles Story’s official Ringo Starr Peace and Love Sculpture will be displayed outside the museum entrance yet again, offering attendees a chance to view it up close as part of the celebration.
The sculpture, created using an original casting of Ringo’s right hand, symbolically and quite literally shows that Ringo had a hand in spreading peace. Each piece is handcrafted by seasoned artisans, blending artistic craftsmanship with heartfelt meaning to create a lasting emblem of positivity.
This limited-edition sculpture is part of an exclusive initiative by the Ringo Starr organisation, with a select number made available to institutions and cultural spaces around the world. The Beatles Story is home to the UK’s only Ringo Starr Peace and Love Sculpture.
The celebrations, which will mark Ringo Starr’s birthday, are being held by The Beatles Story to help raise awareness of Ringo Starr’s charity, The Lotus Foundation, which he established with wife Barbara. The Lotus Foundation reflects the compassion and values that Ringo and Barbara have championed for decades, supporting causes close to their hearts such as providing support to domestic violence survivors, cancer patients, and animals in need.
Mary Chadwick, General Manager of The Beatles Story, said: “Beatles birthdays are always a special moment for us in Liverpool, and we’re honoured to bring people together once again at The Beatles Story to support Ringo’s official birthday initiative, and help raise awareness of The Lotus Foundation. The ‘Peace and Love’ message continues to resonate with fans of all ages, and each year we see how powerful that shared moment can be. It’s a wonderful opportunity for visitors and locals alike to connect, reflect, and be part of something global, right here on the Royal Albert Dock.”
