The venue
Liverpool's Grand Central Building— an Art Nouveau landmark.
Designed by Bradshaw & Gass of Bolton and opened in 1905 as the Central Hall of the Liverpool Wesleyan Mission, our venue occupies one of the city's most storied Art Nouveau landmarks. Beneath its spectacular domed ceiling, this hall once seated 3,576 people, served as the New Century Picture Hall cinema, and from 1933 to 1939 was the temporary home of the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
Today, that same heritage space blends historic architecture with modern flexibility — offering adaptable room layouts and refined staging that provide an elegant, meaningful backdrop no modern hotel function room can match.
