Liverpool’s hottest new independent entertainment destination is set to open its doors this spring, promising a brilliant visitor experience.
The new £7million Blackstock Market will boast a wide-ranging programme of entertainment, including comedy, music, sporting events broadcast live on a giant screen and a fantastic food and drink offer.
The 60,000sq ft development is the brainchild of Toxteth-raised brothers Paul and Binty Blair who run the city’s hugely popular, multi award-winning Hot Water Comedy Club.
Now the pair have harnessed their creative vision to transform the former market site, based in a key Liverpool city centre location, delivering another must-visit attraction for the city.
Blackstock Market houses four theatre spaces of varying sizes, from a purpose built, state of the art 590-seat auditorium – the largest regular comedy club space in the world – to a 50-seat studio space, along with podcast studios, with the venue becoming a new home for Hot Water and the city’s legion of comedy fans.
The versatile events spaces will make it the place to go for everything from music, comedy, theatre, exhibitions and quizzes to corporate events and weddings.
It will be open all day, seven days of the week, with no need to book to access the main market areas and most attractions, and free live music on site daily.
A giant rooftop terrace, the largest in Liverpool, will open later this year. And a big screen will show top sporting events live, while special ‘audience with’ shows will feature sporting legend guests.
