LIVERPOOL IS THE NORTHWEST’S ULTIMATE EVENT DESTINATION
Liverpool is a city that effortlessly blends history, culture, and innovation, making it the perfect destination for events in the Northwest. With its rich arts scene, iconic venues, and a dynamic business community, it offers an unparalleled destination for event organisers and attendees alike.
Iconic Venues for Every Occasion
Renowned as a UNESCO City of Music, Liverpool boasts a creative pulse that few cities can match. From the historic grandeur of St George’s Hall to the cutting-edge facilities of ACC Liverpool, the city offers an array of venues to suit events of any scale. The Titanic Hotel and Rum Warehouse stands as a stunning example of how Liverpool’s industrial heritage has been transformed into world-class event spaces, seamlessly combining historic charm with modern functionality.
What truly sets Liverpool apart, is its ability to deliver a unique sense of occasion. Home to internationally celebrated cultural landmarks such as The Beatles Story, Tate Liverpool, and the Royal Albert Dock, the city ensures visitors will have a memorable experience both during and beyond their event.
Partnering for Event Excellence
Colin Reader, Managing Director at MSP explains “MSP is proud to be a long-term partner with Liverpool’s premier venues and by working closely with local businesses we all help deliver exceptional experiences, putting the city firmly on the event map!” The hospitality sector supports over 58,000 jobs and benefits from Liverpool’s global appeal, bolstered by iconic events like the Eurovision Song Contest, the Grand National, and The Open Golf Championship. These have not only enhanced the city’s reputation but also driven an increase in visitor numbers, with more than 60 million annual visitors being recorded recently.

George Wright of LCR Finance joined a lively panel discussion chaired by Phil McCabe. Several young businesses were invited to talk about their offer and promote themselves.
Phil McCabe of the Federation of Small Businesses said: ‘ BIPC Liverpool did a superb job in putting on a highly successful event that will have made a difference to a lot of people starting out and growing. We know how tough it is for the hospitality sector right now. These awards have shone a spotlight on the talent we have in the region and provided two fantastic businesses with some much deserved recognition. Emil’s Kitchen and Pierre Griffes are thoroughly deserving winners.’
More High Street Hero Awards are set to be announced over the coming weeks as part of BIPCs High Street Hero campaign (UKSPF funded) in Liverpool’s Town Centres to support and promote independent businesses.

Where Events Become Extraordinary
While Manchester and Leeds have their merits, Liverpool’s vibrant culture, welcoming spirit, and iconic venues make it a standout choice. Its central location, excellent transport links, and rich cultural heritage create an ideal backdrop for events that demand more than just functionality—they require a touch of magic.
For a destination that inspires and delivers, event organisers need to look no further than Liverpool, where every event becomes an extraordinary experience.
