Long awaited venue Blackstock Market – the city’s latest entertainment destination – welcomed over 2,000 eager visitors on its inaugural day.
The highly anticipated venue which boasts a staggering £7 million investment officially opened its doors to the public last weekend with a grand opening featured a sold-out evening hosted by the renowned Hot Water Comedy Club, headlined by the charismatic Paul Smith, the club’s resident compere.
Blackstock Market is poised to become a hub for diverse events and gatherings. Equipped with versatile spaces available for hire and equipped with high-speed 10gb Wi-Fi throughout the premises, Blackstock Market offers a dynamic backdrop for any occasion. From weddings and corporate events to art exhibitions and music festivals, the venue promises an unparalleled experience for every gathering.
Sports enthusiasts will be delighted by the announcement of a big screen showcasing live sporting events, while special ‘audience with’ shows will feature appearances from sporting legends, adding a touch of star-studded glamour to the venue’s lineup.
Moreover, the forthcoming giant rooftop terrace, touted as the largest in Liverpool, promises panoramic views and unforgettable experiences for visitors.
The venue also boasts a vibrant food market hosting a diverse array of local independent street food vendors. From Burgerism and Pattersons to KO Grill and Paulie’s Pizzeria, visitors can indulge in a gastronomic adventure curated to tantalize the taste buds. And for those with a sweet tooth, Liverpool Food Network members Desserts by Dre are on hand with delicious treats to satisfy every craving.
The venue’s commitment to local engagement is further underscored by its employment of approximately 100 new staff from the surrounding area, bolstering the local economy and fostering a sense of community spirit.
As Blackstock Market continues to unveil its offerings, including one of the longest bars in Liverpool and a sumptuous cocktail bar, along with an elegant Prohibition era-style bar named Whisky & Water, the venue’s promise of an immersive entertainment experience is set to captivate visitors from near and far.
With its commitment to supporting local suppliers and embracing the vibrant spirit of Liverpool, Blackstock Market will quickly emerge as a dynamic addition to the city’s cultural landscape.
