As entertainment specialists covering the whole of the UK, it’s important that we know our cities’ best venues and acts. That’s especially true when it comes to Liverpool; a city with a proud heritage in entertainment having given us some of our most beloved bands, comedians and performers.
So today we’re taking a look at just a few of the great venues in this wonderful city, and suggesting a handful of acts that we think would be perfect for corporate events, weddings and private functions. Read on for our picks…
ATOMIC SWING – THE TITANIC HOTEL
Set in Liverpool’s Stanley Docks, The Titanic Hotel is a truly striking venue for an event, steeped in the history of the city. Naturally, it’s a popular spot for event professionals planning everything from corporate functions to weddings, with plenty of event spaces to suit any occasion. For such a unique venue, we’d suggest a unique musical act; swing covers outfit Atomic Swing who give modern pop, rock and RnB hits an ingenious jazz makeover.
BEATVOX – TATE LIVERPOOL
Part of the Tate family of galleries that includes Tate Modern and Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool can be found at the famous Albert Docks and is as spectacular an events venue as its London siblings. The venue’s striking, industrial warehouse-style spaces offer the perfect canvas to create sophisticated, modern events; a great place to show off unexpected acts like beatboxing a capella supergroup Beatvox.
ENDYMION THE VENUE AT THE ROYAL LIVER BUILDING
The Liver Building is one of Liverpool’s most iconic pieces of architecture, sporting two liver birds; the city’s longstanding symbol. The inside of the venue is as striking as its exterior, making the Liver Building a much sought-after venue for events of all kinds. For a venue that oozes class and sophistication, we’d suggest one of our superbly talented string quartets like Endymion, an ensemble that features musicians who’ve played with the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
KIKOSI – HILTON LIVERPOOL CITY CENTRE
Boasting a great location and a selection of event and conference rooms, the Hilton Liverpool City Centre is rightly a popular spot for corporate events, as well as weddings and private functions in the heart of the city. To pack the dance floor for an event at the Hilton Liverpool City Centre, we’d suggest one of Liverpool’s finest function bands, Kikosi, whose staggering repertoire and high energy shows are guaranteed to get your guests up and dancing.
COLIN MURRAY – ANFIELD
Anfield is famous the world over as one of the UK’s most revered sporting venues, but it’s also available to hire as an events space. With a number of events spaces available, there are plenty of options for hosting events at one of football’s most successful and storied clubs. Events at Anfield naturally lend themselves to a sporting theme, and we can think of no better host than TV and Radio personality Colin Murray. A lifelong Liverpool fan with an encyclopedic knowledge of sports, Murray would be perfect for moderating panel discussions or hosting awards shows.
